Gazing upon the sunset light

In all its loveliest grace declining.

Onward the chase he had since dawn

Pursued, with swift-winged step, o’er lawn,

And pine-clad steep, and winding dell,

And deep ravine, and covert nook

Wherein the red-deer loves to dwell,

And silent cove, and brawling brook;

Yet not till twilight’s mists descending,

Had dimmed the wooded vales below,
