First Line: Into the twilight's velvet curtain
Last Line: Of the muffled vesper bell.
Subject(s): Evening; Sunset; Twilight
Into the twilight's velvet curtain,
Fireflies flicker, slow, uncertain;
While from the boggy marshes dense,
The guttural croak of frogs commence.
Over the hillside's wooded rim,
Flames the full moon's glowing brim;
A rustle of summer's gentle breeze,
Sounding a starlit symphony.
And now a breathless silence broods,
Around this tranquil solitude;
Only broken by the swell,
Of the muffled vesper bell.
