Evening Scene

Lo! It is twilight!swallows are homeward calling,

Beyond the yonder hills the sun is falling;

The western skies are wearing a scarlet hue,

The distant hills stand grim and blue

The solitary palm stands on the horizon

Mute and motionless as in a design;

Every tree and hill, temple and hut

Wear in the landscape a dark silhouette.

Now lower down the coppery Sun hath hastened,

In his stately chariot of guilded clouds,fastened

With radiant sunbeams across the sky.

And driven by Time’s horses without a sigh.

Nature in Love-1

It was a happy evening

When Cupid was on his wing;

On his romantic errand, proud,

For the lovely loving cloud!
