Heaped with bending asters and dahlias heavy and dark,

And golden tulips, goblets holding the rain -
The garden will be hushed with snow, forgotten soon, forgotten -
After the stillness, will spring come again? — Sara Teasdale

Lift up our hearts to these this night and grant us Thy peace. Amen. — W. E. B. Du Bois
