Henry Van Dyke - Moving BellsHenry Van Dyke - Moving Bells
Work rating: Low


I love the hour that comes, with dusky hair   And dewy feet, along the Alpine dells,   To lead the cattle forth. A thousand bells Go chiming after her across the fair And flowery uplands, while the rosy flare   Of sunset on the snowy mountain dwells,   And valleys darken, and the drowsy spells Of peace are woven through the purple air. Dear is the magic of this hour: she seems   To walk before the dark by falling rills, And lend a sweeter song to hidden streams;   She opens all the doors of night, and fills With moving bells the music of my dreams,   That wander far among the sleeping hills.
