Her hand is laid in mine.
And thus we watch the parting sun
In golden haze decline
Across the fields the shadows creep,
And up the misty hill:
Aud we our twilight yigils keep.
At our own cottage sill
The distant brool,let's murmur's come,
Like bell-notes through the leaves;
And many an insects mazy hum
Its dreamy music weayes.
The doves last note in ripping beats,
Upon the air departs;
Tie breath of all our garden sweets
Is creeping to our hearts.
The russet woodbine round our porch.
In clustering ringlct, twiues;
The huneysucl,lc's crimson torch
Cleans through the dus'y vines;
The sunset raves are trembling now
Amid the trclis-bars--
They paint upon my darlns's brow
\ glory like the stars
Her check is nesting on my breast,
Her ewes are bright with telrs;
A urnver, half brcnthei and halfrcpressed.
NV listening spirit hears,
Oh blessed be the chan less love
That clorifcs my life!
All doubt, all fear. all guile above
My own true-hearted wife!
