One Evening, Near The Close Of Summer, When The Last Traces Of Departing Day Had Tinged The Fleecy Clouds In The Chambers Of The West With Faint But Beautiful Colours.
I Took A Solitary Walk In The Garden, And Gazed With Pleasure On The Expanded Canopy Of The Skies, Decked With A Surprising Number Of Glittering Stars, While Cynthia With Her Silver Rays Rendered Every Object Delightfully Pleasing.
Nor Was The Calmness Of The Evening Disturbed; A Gentle Breeze Fanned The Leaves, And Wafted The Odours Of A Thousand Flowers And Plants.
