First Line: The eastern mail comes lumbering in
Last Line: From hence to athabasca lake.
Subject(s): Evening; Wind; Sunset; Twilight
The eastern mail comes lumbering in
With outmost waves of Europe's din;
The western sighs adown the slope,
Or mid the rustling leaves doth grope,
Laden with news from Californ',
Whateer transpired hath since morn,
How wags The world by brier and brake,
From hence to Athabasca lake.
