Low
OH ! soothing hour, when glowing day,
Low in the western wave declines,
And village murmurs die away,
And bright the vesper planet shines;
I love to hear the gale of Even
Breathing along the new-leaf`d copse,
And feel the freshening dew of Heaven,
Fall silently in limpid drops.
For, like a friend`s consoling sighs,
That breeze of night to me appears;
And, as soft dew from Pity`s eyes,
Descend those pure celestial tears.
Alas ! for those who long have borne,
Like me, a heart by sorrow riven,
Who, but the plaintive winds, will mourn,
What tears will fall, but those of Heaven ?
