THE EVENINGS.
I
In the Summer Evening,When the winds blew low,
And the skies were radiant
With the sunset's glow,
Thou and I were happy,
Long, long years ago.
Love, the young and hopeful,
Hover'd o'er us twain,—
Fill'd us with sad pleasure
And delicious pain;
In the Summer Evenings,
Wandering in the lane.

II
In the Winter Evenings,When the wild winds roar,
Blustering at the chimney,
Piping at the door,
Thou and I are happy
As in days of yore.
Love still hovers o'er us,
Robed in white attire,
Drawing heavenly music
From an earthly lyre;
In the Winter Evenings,
Sitting by the fire.
