The day is down into his bower: In languid lights his feet he steeps: The flusht sky darkens, low and lower, And closes on the glowing deeps. In creeping curves of yellow foam Up shallow sands the waters slide: And warmly blow what whispers roam From isle to isle the lulled tide: The boats are drawn: the nets drip bright: Dark casements gleam: old songs are sung: And out upon the verge of night Green lights from lonely rocks are hung. O winds of eve that somewhere rove Where darkest sleeps the distant sea, Seek out where haply dreams my love, And whisper all her dreams to me! | Other Poems of Interest...AFTER CALLIMACHUS by JOHN HOLLANDER THE EVENING OF THE MIND by DONALD JUSTICE CHRISTMAS AWAY FROM HOME by JANE KENYON THE PROBLEM by CHARLOTTE FISKE BATES WHEN A WOMAN LOVES A MAN by DAVID LEHMAN THIS UNMENTIONABLE FEELING by DAVID LEHMAN THE LAST WISH by EDWARD ROBERT BULWER-LYTTON THE WANDERER: 2.
