First Line: From day's fair face the smile is gone
Last Line: And lo, a jewelled coverlet o'er her they spread!
Subject(s): Beds; Evening; Rest; Silence; Sleep; Sunset; Twilight
From Day's fair face the smile is gone;
And in those languid eyes
The soft light dimmer grows; while on
Her brow so chaste there lies
The damp of Nature's kiss,—as to her rest she hies.
Except that wilful wind,—each thing
Moves now with tip-toe tread,
Strange, liveried ones are minist'ring
In silence round her bed,
And lo, a jewelled coverlet o'er her they spread!
