    Twilight's soft dews steal o'er the village-green,
    With magic tints to harmonize the scene.
    Stilled is the hum that through the hamlet broke
    When round the ruins of their ancient oak
    The peasants flocked to hear the minstrel play,
    And games and carols closed the busy day.

She bids you on the wanton rushes lay you down
And rest your gentle head upon her lap,
And she will sing the song that pleaseth you
And on your eyelids crown the god of sleep,
Charming your brood with pleasing heaviness,
Making such difference 'twixt wake and sleep
As is the difference betwixt day and night
The hour before the heavenly-harnessed team
Begins his golden progress in the east.

Sweet shadows of twilight! how calm their repose,
While the dewdrops fall soft in the breast of the rose!
How blest to the toiler his hour of release
When the vesper is heard with its whisper of peace!

Even in the eye of day; with sweetest beam
Propitious shines, and shakes a trembling flood
Of softened radiance from her dewy locks.

The sun has left the lea,
The orange flower perfumes the bower,
The breeze is on the sea.

Under the pall of twilight, and the love-star sickened and

'Twas twilight, and the sunless day went down
Over the waste of waters; like a veil,
Which, if withdrawn, would but disclose the frown
Of one whose hate is mask'd but to assail.
