I need so much the quiet of your love,
After the day's loud strife;
I need your calm all other things above,
After the stress of life.
I crave the haven that in your dear heart lies,
After all toil is done;
I need the starshine of your heavenly eyes,
After the day's great sun!

Clever Analogy
Towne is using the analogy of heading home to see his loving wife as a way to express his belief's in heaven and the creator when he dies. He plays with the reader with words like "quiet", "strife", "things above", "haven", etc... quite the clever turn of phrase. -
Short, sweet.
This is a beautiful short piece! The serenity felt from the two stanzas is delightful. -
soothing and satisfying
A nice calming end of the day poem, he seems to really look forward to the comforts of home after a hard days work.
Well expressed and creative
