Twilight shade is calmly falling Round about the dew-robed flowers; Philomel's lone song is calling Lovers to their fairy bowers; Echo, on the zephyrs gliding, Bears a voice that seems to say, "Ears and hearts, come, list my tiding, This has been a wedding day." Hark! the merry chimes are pealing, Soft and glad the music swells; Gaily on the night-wind stealing, Sweetly sound the wedding bells. Every simple breast rejoices; Laughter rides upon the gale; Happy hearts and happy voices Dwell within the lowly vale. Oh, how sweet, on zephyrs gliding, Sound the bells that seem to say, "Ears and hearts, come, list my tiding, This has been a wedding day!" Hark! the merry chimes are pealing, Soft and glad the music swells; Gaily on the night-wind stealing, Sweetly sound the wedding bells. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE MOON by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES THE WILL OF GOD by FREDERICK WILLIAM FABER THE SONG OF FIONNUALA by THOMAS MOORE HERTHA by ALGERNON CHARLES SWINBURNE ANOTHER FRANCIS OF ASSISI by FREDERICK HENRY HERBERT ADLER NETLEY ABBEY; A LEGEND OF HAMPSHIRE by RICHARD HARRIS BARHAM THE CHRISTENING OF THE STADIUM by HARRY RANDOLPH BLYTHE ATTACH TO ALPHONSO FERRABOSCO'S 'AIRS': TO THE WORTHY AUTHOR by THOMAS CAMPION |
