| Arthur Quiller-Couch, comp. The Oxford Book of Victorian Verse. 1922. | | | | Day’s End | | By Laurence Binyon (1869–1943) |
| | | WHEN I am weary, throng’d with the cares of the vain day | |
| That tease as harsh winds tease the unresting autumn boughs, | |
| I still my mind at evening and put all else away | |
| But the image of my Love, where all my hopes I house. | |
| |
| The thoughts of her fall gently as the gentleness of snow | 5 |
| That after storm makes smoothness in the ways that are rough; | |
| White with a hush of beauty over my heart they grow | |
| To the peace of which my heart can never hold enough. | | | | |
