It is the hour when from the boughs
The nightingale's high note is heard;
It is the hour when lover's vows

Seem sweet in every whispered word;
And gentle winds, and waters near,
Make music to the lonely ear.

And in the sky the stars are met,
And on the wave is deeper blue,
And on the leaf a browner hue,
And in the heaven that clear obscure,
So softly dark and darkly pure,
Which follows the decline of day,
As twilight melts beneath the moon away.

And one by one to earth reveals
Those purer fires on high.
