People were talking today about the word "Gloaming", and how good it feels in your mouth to say it. It reminded me of a retired professor I cared for in one of my Adult Foster homes. More than once, while waiting for a meal, she would stare out the window and recite this poem. I could see that she too truly enjoyed saying that word.

In the Gloaming
by Meta Orred

In the gloaming oh, my darling
when the lights are dim and low
And the quiet shadows falling
softly come and softly go

When the trees are sobbing faintly
with a gentle unknown woe
Will you think of me and love me,
as you did once long ago?

In the gloaming oh! my darling
think not bitterly of me?
Tho' I passed away in silence
left you lonely, set you free

For my heart was crush'd with longing,
what had been could never be
It was best to leave you thus dear
best for you and best for me

It was best to leave you thus ..........
Best for you and best for me ......
