From out the hills where twilight standsA
Above the shadowy pasture landsA
With strained and strident cryB
Beneath pale skies that sunset bandsA
The bull bats flyB
-
A cloud hangs over strange of shapeC
And colored like the half ripe grapeC
Seems some uneven stainD
On heaven's azure thin as crapeC
And blue as rainD
-
By ways that sunset's sardonyxA
O'erflares and gates the farm boy clicksA
Through which the cattle cameE
The mullein stalks seem giant wicksA
Of downy flameE
-
From woods no glimmer enters inF
Above the streams that wandering winF
To where the wood pool bidsA
Those haunters of the dusk beginF
The katydidsA
-
Adown the dark the firefly marksA
Its flight in gold and emerald sparksA
And loosened from his chainD
The shaggy mastiff bounds and barksA
And barks againG
-
Each breeze brings scents of hill heaped hayH
And now an owlet far awayH
Cries twice or thrice 'T o o w h o o'I
And cool dim moths of mottled grayH
Flit through the dewJ
-
The silence sounds its frog bassoonK
Where on the woodland creek's lagoonK
Pale as a ghostly girlL
Lost 'mid the trees looks down the moonK
With face of pearlL
-
Within the shed where logs late hewedJ
Smell forest sweet and chips of woodJ
Make blurs of white and brownM
The brood hen cuddles her warm broodJ
Of teetering downM
-
The clattering guineas in the treeN
Din for a time and quietlyN
The henhouse near the fenceA
Sleeps save for some brief rivalryN
Of cocks and hensA
-
A cowbell tinkles by the railsA
Where streaming white in foaming pailsA
Milk makes an uddery soundJ
While overhead the black bat trailsA
Around and roundJ
-
The night is still The slow cows chewJ
A drowsy cud The bird that flewJ
And sang is in its nestJ
It is the time of falling dewJ
Of dreams and restJ
-
The beehives sleep and round the walkO
The garden path from stalk to stalkO
The bungling beetle boomsA
Where two soft shadows stand and talkO
Among the bloomsA
-
The stars are thick the light is deadJ
That dyed the west and DrowsyheadJ
Tuning his cricket pipeC
Nods and some apple round and redJ
Drops over ripeC
-
Now down the road that shambles byB
A window shining like an eyeB
Through climbing rose and gourdJ
Shows Age and young RusticityJ
Seated at boardJ
