That I'm no Hilton in design—
In nature no De Wint!
Thrice happy time!—Art's early days!
When o'er each deed, with sweet self-praise,
Narcissus-like I hung!
When great Rembrandt but little seemed,
And such Old Masters all were deemed
As nothing to the young!
[THOSE EVENING BELLS.]
Those evening bells, those evening bells,
