Where Sature'- hand their wholesome couch hath
And through the purling mist the moon doth
Pale gentle radiance. dear recurring dream.

When evening conleth on,

When evening cometh on.
Na sounding phrase can set The heart at rest
The lrtIIug gloom that creeps by wood and stream
Tbe bar, rHHt he along the suOuldering west,
The tiI sui lonely silent trees that seem
Go mock Che Erpaniug earth. and turn TO Jest
Td., ering fame, this agOuizing dream,
ALL 600 bring sorrow as the C Ouds bring rain,
AMI Usrruure Hes struggle scemeth vain
Whom evening cOmeth on.
When evening cometh on.
Arsar doth Life stand by the great unknown,
tu darkness reaching out her sentient hands;
pniIu-DuHirs aud creeds alike are thrown
Beneath her feet, and questioning she stands
Close on thc brink, miearing and alone,
And l-i- the dun wave breaking on the sands,
Albeit her tbpulhtful eyes are filed with tears,
-J lonely aud so sad the sound she hears
When evening cometh on.
When evening cometh on,
yaln seems the world, and yainer wise mems
Thought.
Au o0iors vanish when the sun gocth down.
Flme'- purple mantle some proud soul hath caught
80 better srems than doth the earth-stained gown
Worn by Content All names shall be forgot.
Death plucks the stars 10 deak his sable crown.
The ajr enchantm~nt of the golden day
Bar through jhe vale OF shadows tselt away
When evening oometh on
When evening cometh on,
Love. only love, can stay the sinking soul,
A nd smooth thoughts racking fever from the brow ;
The w0uuded heart Love only can console,
" Whateyer brings salm for sorrOw now.
So must 10 De- while this yeXed earth shall roll
Take Then the portion which the gods allow.
Dear heart, may / al last thy warm breast
sink to- forge tfulnc-s and silent rest
When evening cOmcth on.
