A Winter Twilight


Angelina Weld Grimké

A silence slipping around like death,
Yet chased by a whisper, a sigh, a breath; 
One group of trees, lean, naked and cold,
Inking their cress 'gainst a sky green-gold;
One path that knows where the corn flowers were;
Lonely, apart, unyielding, one fir;
And over it softly leaning down,
One star that I loved ere the fields went brown.



Angelina Weld Grimké was born in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1880. A journalist, playwright, teacher, author, and poet, she was a prominent figure in the Harlem Renaissance and one of the first African-American women to have one of her plays publicly performed. She died in New York City in 1958.
