Evening In June.

Topics: classic

The purple lilac with the dark green leaves      A subtle perfume spreads o'er fields wherein     The meadow-lark with clear full singing cleaves      The choral air. The rossignols begin      A blither song, where the treacherous spiders spin     Their shimmering webs. The robin o'er her young      Chirps cheerfully, or starts the frighted din.     Till the night oriole lights his lamp among     The blooms of marigold and spotted adder's tongue.
