A Child's Own Book of Verse II by  Ada M. Skinner

The Twilight

In her wimple of wind and her slippers of sleep,

The Twilight comes like a little goose-girl,

Herding her owls with many "Tu-whoos,"

Her little brown owls in the woodland deep,

Where dimly she walks in her whispering shoes,

And gown of shimmering pearl.

—Madison Cawein.
