"THE WOODS THAT BRING THE SUNSET NEAR.
The wind from out the West is blowing.
The home ard wandering cows are loving:
Dark grow the pine woods, dark and drear,-
The wooos that bring the sunset near.
When DER wide seas the sun declines,
Far of its fading glory shines;
Far off. sublime aud full at f-ar-
The pine " GODS bring the sunset near.

Yuuder the stormy sea. and here
