The twilights hands let fall.
The sunset glory with the dying night
Fades from the western wall,
The gold,
The crimson, purple, silver coloring dies,
The flowers their petals close,
The stars begin TO one their twinkling eyes
And dewdrops gem the rose.

With rapture in his eye,
The maid, he knows his coming doth await
With fond anxiety.

Deems he is blest beyond all men the sun

The maiden's guleless heart he's sure he's won
And it is all his own.

When burgeoning to bloom!
