But on the still grey eve what glory breaks!

A glowing sphere between the trembling trees,

As though the wondering world returning sees

A silvern sun a softer day that makes,

Ere this departs and his last song doth cease

With his last breath that night’s enchantment takes.

ILLUSIONS

I STOOPED to drink of Life’s enchanted stream,

From fair green meads and flowery marge of youth,
