Sunset gleams of rose and amber,

Where the ivy tendrils clamber,

Flush each casement pane.

Lurks no ghost behind the arras,

Happy midnight dreams to harass,

Wakes no Banshee’s wail;

Tapestry, nor antique lumber,

Doth its sunny hall encumber,

Shield, nor suit of mail.

Morning wakes its household noises,
