II is the hour when faints the long, gold day;
That hour when all the spent world signs TO rest
The low wind sleeps. the lilies Idly sway,
And drops the bee into the roses breast
Now the last weary swallow wheels on high,
A fash of silver on the rosy light; -
Soon the first star shall gleam in the still Sky
And earth be clasped by the cool arms or night
Now the round notes of restless birds are dead
Peace on the scented land and shtmmerlng sea
Now fades fades the sunset red
And with the tender night comes peace TO me!
