Poems?

There was another poem read somewhere in the middle of the movie. I know because I was startled to hear the words of a poem that our minister found for my late father's memorial service last October. The poem is "Let Evening Come" by Jane Kenyon, which the minister found in the book "Sabbath: Finding Rest, Renewal, and Delight in Our Busy Lives" (Wayne Muller, author of book).

Ironically, the verse read in the movie is the only one we edited out for the service:
"To the bottle in the ditch, to the scoop in the oats, to the air in the lung, let evening come."

Here is the opening verse of the poem, which we found very appropriate for my father, who was raised on a dairy farm:
"Let the light of late afternoon
shine through chinks in the barn, moving
up the bales as the sun moves down."

And here is the last verse:
"Let it come as it will, and don't
be afraid. God does not leave us
comfortless, so let evening come."
