In the twilight of the trees
Hear the wood-thrush singing
Low, sweet summer harmonies,
In the twilight.

Warbles he with wondrous ease,
On a lithe branch swinging
In the twilight of the trees.

Bell-like tones the laden breeze
From his throat is bringing—
Lo, sweet summer harmonies
In the twilight!
