song murmured, stream-like, through its single street. It was the hour
when lads and lasses, after their hard day's work, meet in the mellow
gloaming to express their feelings in melodies which, though glad, are
never without a strain of sadness. The pensive eventide was dreamily
embracing the blue heaven, and transforming every visible object into
something vague, shadowy, and ghost-like. The brooding gloom settled
into night, and still the stream of song flowed on without
surcease. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
