This piece is based on the text of award-winning American poet Jane Kenyon's poem by the same name, which contemplates the end of the day, and alludes to the parallels in life and death. With a quiet, reflective beginning, listeners are transported to the peaceful countryside in the late afternoon. Voice parts in turn bathe the listener in rays of light as they "shine through the chinks in the barn". The piece culminates in an affirming declaration – "let evening come, as it will, and don't be afraid. God does not leave us comfortless."
