Slowly, slowly up the wall
steals the sunshine, steals the shades
Evening damps begin 20 Gal,
Evening shadows are displayed.
Round me, DER me, everywhere,
All the sky IL grand with clouds,
And athwart the evening air
Wheel the swallows home In clouds.
ShAfts Of sunshine nom the west
Paints the dusky windows red;
Darker shadows, deeper rest,
Underneath and overhead.
Darker, darker. and more wan
In my breast the shadows fall;
Upward steals the life Of man
As the sunshine nom the wall.
Prom the wall into the sky,
Prom the rooi along the spire;
All, the souls Of those that die
Are but sunbeams hfted higher.
