Envoi or envoy Poems
Envoi
by Percy Hugh Beverley Lyon
' Earth puts her colours by, '
And veils her in one whispering cloak of shadow;
Green goes from the meadow,

A few stars sail upon a windy sky,
And the moon is clouded.
The delicate music, traced
In and out of the soft lights and the laughter,
Is hushed, round ledge and rafter
