    Night comes, world-jewelled, . . .
    The stars rush forth in myriads as to wage
    War with the lines of Darkness; and the moon,
    Pale ghost of Night, comes haunting the cold earth
    After the sun's red sea-death--quietless.

There all in sweet confusion sought the shade,
And fill'd each pause the nightingale had made.

A late lark twitters from the quiet skies:
And from the west,
Where the sun, his day's read more

A late lark twitters from the quiet skies:
And from the west,
Where the sun, his day's work ended,
Lingers as in content,
There falls on the old, gray city
An influence luminous and serene,
A shining peace.
