Bcncatli the ffiiwilcn gloamin sk\
The mavis mends his l.iy v _
The redbreast pours its sweetest strains
To charm the ling'ring day;
Wliile weary yeldrins seem to wail
Tlieir little nestlings torn.
The merry wren,' frae den to den,
Gaes jinkin thro' the thorn .
The roses fauld their silken leaves,
The foxglove shuts its bell,
The honey-snekie and the birk
Spread fragrance thro' the dell .
J^et others crowd the giddy conrt
Of mirth and revelry,
The simple joys that nature yields
Are dearer far to me .
