EVENING SONGS

Stilled is the whispering of the trees
The leaves are barely breathing,
The birds are dreaming pleasant dreams . . .
So peaceful, so unheeding.

Upon the skies rose many stars,
All seem so free, so sweeping,
Only the bosom sighs with grief,
’round the heart a pain is creeping.

Within the goblets of the blooms,
The cooling dew is glowing.
Dear God, it seems as if this dew
From my weary eyes were flowing.
