For George Sterling

By Herbert Selig

No word across the evening sky,
  Only the dark wind, grumbling still,
And a last gull flying high
  And the stars beyond the hill.

No hand to touch in the brave way,
  No fair words in an old tongue—
Only the shadows stumbling into day,
  An the last line sung…

Overland Monthly and Out West Magazine, March 1927, Volume LXXXV, Number 3, pg 83.
