1SONG OF THE "A" STRING.

3I.

4The Sun impressed upon the lips of Eve

5A lingering kiss; and, gently taking leave,

6Undid its golden tresses for the night,

7To let them float upon the dying breeze,

8And get entangled in the tops of trees,

9Where darkness freed them from their sorry plight.

11II.

12The earth was flushed with a soft roseate hue,

13The meadow-lands were diamonded with dew,

14And to the air a fragrant scent bequeathed;

15All seemed enchanted by the evening's spell,

16And from afar came echoes of a bell,

17As faint as if Æolian harps had breathed.
