And the Finish of Man.

They Come out Nights
They are Lost in Days;
Never Seen by Sunlight
But by Moon Rays.

No One Ever Saw Me, nor Ever Will;
And Yet I am the Confidence of All
Who Live and Breathe on Earth’s Ball.

Nor Scales, nor Bones,
But They have Fingers
And Thumbs of Their Own.
What are They?
