Thank you for the analysis of this beautiful poem. My son had to memorize a poem and recite it in front of his class. This is the poem he selected. When I read it the first time, I just thought it was about evening approaching. He said, "No, Mom, it's about death." He takes AP Lit and Comp and is analyzing literature constantly. So I read it again and understood what he was referring to. I wanted further analysis and then found your blog. I am at crossroads in life (sons going off to college soon and parents aging) and this really touches me deeply. Thank you again.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09141732961551604106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8452373747078972059.post-73421038544194764642010-05-02T08:20:06.949-07:002010-05-02T08:20:06.949-07:00Hi Hunter!

I love the way that Jane Kenyon illustrates all the areas in life where the end or just a brief pauses approaches. She shows how these moments are natural, and thus not worth being afraid of. In the end, her assertion that God does not leave us comfortless is the ultimate reason to "let evening come."Matthew A Kaberlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17048726436775395155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8452373747078972059.post-13581688757282564092010-04-29T21:10:34.445-07:002010-04-29T21:10:34.445-07:00Matt, thanks for all of your postings, and in part...Matt, thanks for all of your postings, and in particular, for sharing this beautiful poem. A few years ago, one of my dear friends from high school lost her mother to cancer. I was there when she passed on, and ironically, it seemed that we were more upset and scared than she was....God was surely calling her home, and she was at peace and ready to move forward to her next life, where she would be free from pain. We all should be willing to find ways to 'let evening come' in our own lives, and to discover the peace and beauty that it may bring. I hope you're doing well.hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05032595623772604119noreply@blogger.com
