Twilight

Calm twilight! in thy mild and silent time,
When summer flowers their perfume shed around,
And naught, save the deep, solitary sound
Of some far bell, is heard, with solemn chime

Tolling for vespers, or the evening bird
Pouring sweet music o’er the woodland glade,
As if to viewless sprites and fairies layed,
Who join in dances when the strain is heard:

Then thoughts of those beloved and dearest come
Like sweetest hues upon the shadowed wave;
And joys, that blossomed in the bowers of home,

The dews of memory with freshness lave.
O, that my last daybeam of life would shine,
Serenely beautiful, calm hour, as thine!
