Sundown Poem by Mary W. M. Falconer
The poem portrays evening as a transition from the joys of day to the dawn of new hopes. A speaker laments the night but acknowledges others will greet morning with wedding, combat, or new beginnings as the sun rises beyond the hills. The piece closes with a hopeful note that others’ days will be glad as the speaker’s has been.
