If aught of Oaten Stop, or Pastoral Song May hope, chaste Eve, to soothe thy modest ear, Like thy own solemn springs, Thy springs and dying gales, O nymph reserved, while now the bright-haired sun Sits in yon western tent, whose cloudy skirts, With brede ethereal wove, O'erhand his wavy bed; -William Collins (1721-1759), Ode to Evening |
