O pleasant eventide	A
Clouds on the western side	A
Grow gray and grayer hiding the warm sun	B
The bees and birds their happy labors done	B
Seek their close nests and bide	A
	-
Screened in the leafy wood	A
The stock doves sit and brood	A
The very squirrel leaps from bough to bough	C
But lazily pauses and settles now	C
Where once he stored his food	A
	-
One by one the flowers close	D
Lily and dewy rose	E
Shutting their tender petals from the moon	F
The grasshoppers are still but not so soon	F
Are still the noisy crows	E
	-
The dormouse squats and eats	G
Choice little dainty bits	H
Beneath the spreading roots of a broad lime	I
Nibbling his fill he stops from time to time	I
And listens where he sits	H
	-
From far the lowings come	J
Of cattle driven home	K
From farther still the wind brings fitfully	L
The vast continual murmur of the sea	L
Now loud now almost dumb	J
	-
The gnats whirl in the air	M
The evening gnats and there	M
The owl opes broad his eyes and wings to sail	N
For prey the bat wakes and the shell less snail	N
Comes forth clammy and bare	M
	-
Hark that's the nightingale	N
Telling the self same tale	N
Her song told when this ancient earth was young	O
So echoes answered when her song was sung	O
In the first wooded vale	N
	-
We call it love and pain	P
The passion of her strain	P
And yet we little understand or know	Q
Why should it not be rather joy that so	Q
Throbs in each throbbing vein	P
	-
In separate herds the deer	R
Lie here the bucks and here	S
The does and by its mother sleeps the fawn	T
Through all the hours of night until the dawn	T
They sleep forgetting fear	R
	-
The hare sleeps where it lies	U
With wary half closed eyes	U
The cock has ceased to crow the hen to cluck	V
Only the fox is out some heedless duck	V
Or chicken to surprise	U
	-
Remote each single star	W
Comes out till there they are	W
All shining brightly how the dews fall damp	X
While close at hand the glow worm lights her lamp	X
Or twinkles from afar	W
	-
But evening now is done	B
As much as if the sun	B
Day giving had arisen in the east	A
For night has come and the great calm has ceased	A
The quiet sands have run	B
