There is an evening twilight in the heart
When its wild passion waves nrc lullcd to rest
And the eye sees lic's fairy scenes depart,
As fades the day-bcam in the rosy west
'Tis with anameless feeling of regret
We gaze upon them as they melt away
And fondly would we bid them to linger yet,
But hope Is round us with her angel lay,
Hailpg afar some happier moonlight hour;
Dear are her whispers still, though lost their power
In YOUTH her check was crmson'd with her glow
Her smile lovclest then her matin-song
Was heavens own music, and the note of woe
Gas all unherd her sunny bowers among.
Life's little world of bliss was nearly born:
We knew not cared not 1t was born to die
Flushed with the cool breeze and the dews of morn
With dancing heart we gazed on the pure sky
And mocked the passing cloud that dmm'd its blue,
Like our own sorrows then-as nccting and rs few.
And manhood felt her sway too-on the eye
Half realised, her earthly dreams most bright
Her promised bower of happiness secmd nigh,
Its days of joy, its vigils of delight;
And though at times might lower the thunder storm
And the red lightnings threaten, still the air
Was balmy with her breath, and her loved form,
The rainbow of the heart was lowering there.
'Tis in lfc's noontdc she is nearest seen.
Her wreath the summer flower, her robe Of summer
grcen
But though less dazzling in her twilight dress,
There is more of Heavens pure beam about he
now.
The angel smile Of tranquil lovcliness,
Which the heart worships glowing on her brow
The smile shall brighten the DEAN evening star.
That points our destined tomb, nor eer depart
Till the faint light Of life Is fed afar,
And hishcd the last deep beating Of the heart
The meteor bearer Of our parting breath.
