Lone in the upper deep,

Sad Hesper pours its beams upon the eye;

And for one little hour,

Holds audience with the lesser lights of heaven;

Then to its western bower

Descends in sudden darkness, as the flower

That at the fall of Even

Shuts its bright eye, and yields to slumber's power.

Soon, with a dusky face,

Pensive and proud as an East Indian queen,
