"The long day closes"
Tho thrushes sing in every tree;
The shadows long and longer grow,
Broad sunbeamS lie uthwRrt the lea;
The oxen low.
Round roof and tower the swallows aldo.
And slowly sinks the sun
At curfcw tide,
When day is done.
Sweet sleep, the nighttime's fairest child,
Der all the world her piniGns spreads.
Etch flower beneath her influence mild,
Fresh fragrance sheds:
Tho owls. on silent wings and wide
steal from the woodlands ono by ono
AT curfew tide,
When day Is done.
No more the changing rookery rings
with voice OF many n noisy bird.
The startled wood doves Gathering wings
No more are heard.
With sound like whispers family sighed,
Soft breezos through the tree tops run
AT curfew tide.
When day Is done.
SO may it be when life is spent,
When ne'er another sun can rise,
Nor light one other Joy present
To dying eyes.
Then softly may tho spirit glide
To realms of rest, disturbed by none,
AT curfew tide.
When day is done.
