Notes

  • Epigraph: Sundown!
    And faithful souls go quietly to their rest,
    Knowing full well that at His behest.
    The dawn shall follow dark;
    Yet those who have not faith shall fear the setting sun,
    And find no hope nor voice respond
    To life's perplexing doubt:
    What is beyond?
  • Described as 'Selections from Meadowbank Publications No. 2', Sundown and Dawn, in publisher's list (inside backcover of Milestones (1946)).
