At Eventide.

Topics: classic

At eventide, when glories lie         In crimson curtains hung on high,             And all the breast of heaven glows             With mingled wreaths of flowers and snows,         The dearest dreams of life draw nigh.         The pleasures in their soft robes fly         With angel wings adown the sky,             And rapture lulls to sweet repose,             At eventide.         Ah, well-a-day! Life's weary cry,         And all its curse and care shall die,             When Age on downy couches throws             His weary limbs and only knows         The tender dreams of bye-and-bye,             At eventide!
