Hesperus the day is gone Soft falls the silent dew A tear is now on many a flower And heaven lives in you Hesperus the evening mild Falls round us soft and sweet 'Tis like the breathings of a child When day and evening meet Hesperus the closing flower Sleeps on the dewy ground While dews fall in a silent shower And heaven breathes around Hesperus thy twinkling ray Beams in the blue of heaven And tells the traveller on his way That earth shall be forgiven | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE SECRET OF THE SEA by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW EPITAPH FOR LINCOLN by WALT WHITMAN TO BE CARVED ON A STONE AT THOOR BALLYLEE (1) by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS EMPTYING ASHES by MAXWELL ANDERSON FIRST CYCLE OF LOVE POEMS: 4 by GEORGE BARKER |
