To CONTEMPLATION.
Και παγας φιλεoιμι τον εγγυθεν ηχον ακουειν,
Α τερπει ψοφεοισα τον αγρικoν, ουχι ταρασσει.
ΜΟΣΧΟΣ.
Α τερπει ψοφεοισα τον αγρικoν, ουχι ταρασσει.
ΜΟΣΧΟΣ.
Faint gleams the evening radiance thro' the sky,
The sober twilight dimly darkens round;
In short quick circles the shrill bat flits by,
And the slow vapour curls along the ground.
The sober twilight dimly darkens round;
In short quick circles the shrill bat flits by,
And the slow vapour curls along the ground.
Now the pleas'd eye from yon lone cottage sees
On the green mead the smoke long-shadowing play;
The Red-breast on the blossom'd spray
Warbles wild her latest lay,
And sleeps along the dale the silent breeze.
Calm Contemplation, 'tis thy favourite hour!
Come fill my bosom, tranquillizing Power!
On the green mead the smoke long-shadowing play;
The Red-breast on the blossom'd spray
Warbles wild her latest lay,
And sleeps along the dale the silent breeze.
Calm Contemplation, 'tis thy favourite hour!
Come fill my bosom, tranquillizing Power!
