Evening Events
When twilight darkens, and one by one, Tho sweet birds to their nests have gone; When to green banks the glow-worms bring Pale lamps to brighten evening; Then stirs in his thick sleep the owl Through the dewy air to prowl. . . . Now all is still: the field man is Lapped deep in slumbering silentness. Not a leaf stirs, but clouds on high Pass in dim flocks across the sky, Puffed by a breezo too light to move Aught but these wakeful sheep above. Walter de la Mare.
