Evening - Summary

Evening
Thomas Miller is a famous poet and novelist of modern English literature. He has written over 40 volumes.  ‘Evening’ is one of his inspiring poems.
The poet sketches a depiction of the fall of the evening. The poet narrates that the day is over and the shining stars have now come into sight in the evening sky. There is dew on the grass. The night is air is now taken by bats. Animals and birds have all gone to sleep. The darkness envelops the whole atmosphere. But the poet is not afraid of the night to the darkness. He feels secure and out of harm’s way even through the night and during his sleep because he has a staunch faith in god. Miller believes that god is the creator of the universe and he controls the seas and the skies. He trusts that god will look after him and will be always with him whenever he prays to him for his help. The poet closes the poem with the connotation that god loves all the people alike irrespective of their rank, creed or color.
