THE BIRTH OF EVE
How oft Ive noticed when the west sky blazedAt the sweet opening of the evenings birth
& often thought they gamb[o]ld as they glazed
The dying sunbeam on the cotters hearth
Red coal like clouds about the suns bed lying
First brightning up in many a burning track
[The] [OMITTED] & then like [OMITTED] loosing cloud
