June Twilight
The twilight comes;the sun dips down and sets,The boys have doneplay at the nets.In a warm golden glowThe woods are steeped.The shadows grow;The bat has cheeped.Sweet smells the new-mown hay;The mowers passHome, each his way,through the grass.The night-wind stirs the fern,A night-jar spins;The windows burnIn the inns.Dusky it grows. The moon! The dews descend.Love, can this beauty in our hearts end?

June Twilight
The twilight comes;
the sun dips down and sets,
The boys have done
play at the nets.
In a warm golden glow
The woods are steeped.
The shadows grow;
The bat has cheeped.
Sweet smells the new-mown hay;
The mowers pass
Home, each his way,
through the grass.
The night-wind stirs the fern,
A night-jar spins;
The windows burn
In the inns.
Dusky it grows. The moon! The dews descend.
Love, can this beauty in our hearts end?
