Will H. Hendrickson, "Two Poems" (1905)
Again old night has pitched her airy tent,
And holds her hands outstretched high over all;
Her subjects nodding give at last consent,
And march along in Slumber's silent hall.
On Reflection
The dust of by-gone days
Few can shake,
Without discerning by the way
A grave mistake.
