EVENING SONG.

Behind the hilltop drops the sun.
The curled heat falterS on the sand;
While evenings ushers, one by one.
Lead in the guests of twilight land.
The bird is silent overhead,
Below the beast has laid him down;
Alone the marbles watch the dead,
Alone the steeple guards the town.
The south wind feels its amorous course
To cloistered sweets in thickets found;
The leaves obey its tender force,
And stir 'twixt silence and sound.
