Softly the Evening Came
And in keeping with my previous reference to 19th century American poetry, here is something from one of the most famous of his day, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882):
Softly the evening came. The sun from the western horizon
Like a magician extended his golden wand o’er the landscape;
Twinkling vapors arose; and sky and water and forest
Seemed all on fire at the touch, and melted and mingled together.
