First Line: DARKNESS STEALS O'ER HILL AND VALLEY Last Line: FOR SILENCE BROODS UPON A WORLD AT REST. Subject(s): FLOWERS; PEACE; REST; SILENCE; SPRING;
DARKNESS steals o'er hill and valley, In the heavens one pale star shines, Whilst the nightjar's murmurous music Breathes the magic of the pines. Sleep: sleep: in happy slumbers blest, For Silence broods upon a world at rest.
