Evening Star

 Thou fair hair'd angel of the evening,
Now, while the sun rests on the mountains light,
Thy bright torch of love; Thy radiant crown
Put on, and smile upon our evening bed!
Smile on our loves; and when thou drawest the 
Blue curtains, scatter thy silver dew
On every flower that shuts its sweet eyes
In timely sleep.
 Let thy west wind sleep on
The lake; speak silence with thy glimmering eyes
And wash the dusk with silver.
 Soon, full, soon,
Dost thou withdraw; Then, the wolf rages wide,
And the lion glares thro' the dun forest.

The fleece of our flocks are covered with 
Thy sacred dew; Protect them with thine influence.
