When insect wings are glistening in the beam	A
Of the low sun and mountain tops are bright	B
Oh let me by the crystal valley stream	A
Wander amid the mild and mellow light	B
And while the wood thrush pipes his evening lay	C
Give me one lonely hour to hymn the setting day	C
	-
Oh sun that o'er the western mountains now	D
Goest down in glory ever beautiful	E
And blessed is thy radiance whether thou	D
Colourest the eastern heaven and night mist cool	F
Till the bright day star vanish or on high	G
Climbest and streamest thy white splendours from mid sky	G
	-
Yet loveliest are thy setting smiles and fair	H
Fairest of all that earth beholds the hues	I
That live among the clouds and flush the air	H
Lingering and deepening at the hour of dews	I
Then softest gales are breathed and softest heard	J
The plaining voice of streams and pensive note of bird	J
	-
They who here roamed of yore the forest wide	K
Felt by such charm their simple bosoms won	L
They deemed their quivered warrior when he died	K
Went to bright isles beneath the setting sun	L
Where winds are aye at peace and skies are fair	H
And purple skirted clouds curtain the crimson air	H
	-
So with the glories of the dying day	C
Its thousand trembling lights and changing hues	I
The memory of the brave who passed away	C
Tenderly mingled fitting hour to muse	I
On such grave theme and sweet the dream that shed	M
Brightness and beauty round the destiny of the dead	M
	-
For ages on the silent forests here	N
Thy beams did fall before the red man came	O
To dwell beneath them in their shade the deer	P
Fed and feared not the arrow's deadly aim	O
Nor tree was felled in all that world of woods	Q
Save by the beaver's tooth or winds or rush of floods	R
	-
Then came the hunter tribes and thou didst look	S
For ages on their deeds in the hard chase	T
And well fought wars green sod and silver brook	S
Took the first stain of blood before thy face	T
The warrior generations came and passed	U
And glory was laid up for many an age to last	U
	-
Now they are gone gone as thy setting blaze	V
Goes down the west while night is pressing on	W
And with them the old tale of better days	V
And trophies of remembered power are gone	X
Yon field that gives the harvest where the plough	D
Strikes the white bone is all that tells their story now	D
	-
I stand upon their ashes in thy beam	A
The offspring of another race I stand	Y
Beside a stream they loved this valley stream	A
And where the night fire of the quivered band	Y
Showed the gray oak by fits and war song rung	Z
I teach the quiet shades the strains of this new tongue	Z
	-
Farewell but thou shalt come again thy light	B
Must shine on other changes and behold	A2
The place of the thronged city still as night	B
States fallen new empires built upon the old	A2
But never shalt thou see these realms again	B2
Darkened by boundless groves and roamed by savage men	B2
