Night With Her Train Of Stars Christmas Card Pack

A pack of 8 beautiful Christmas cards, each featuring the much-loved painting, Night With Her Train Of Stars by Edward Robert Hughes.This popular painting's title is derived from W. E Henley's poem 'Margaritae Sorori'. A late lark twitters from the quiet skies: And from the west, Where the sun, his day's work ended, Lingers as in content, There falls on the old, gray city An influence luminous and serene, A shining peace. The smoke ascends In a rosy-and-golden haze. The spires Shine and are changed. In the valley Shadows rise. The lark sings on. The sun, Closing his benediction, Sinks, and the darkening air Thrills with a sense of the triumphing night Night with her train of stars And her great gift of sleep. So be my passing! My task accomplish'd and the long day done, My wages taken, and in my heart Some late lark singing, Let me be gather'd to the quiet west, The sundown splendid and serene, Death.
