Visits these eyes, waking at once I cry,

Rush on my mind, a thousand images;
And I spring up as girt to run a race!

With magic tints to harmonize the scene.
Stilled is the hum that through the hamlet broke
When round the ruins of their ancient oak
The peasants flocked to hear the minstrel play,
And games and carols closed the busy day.
Topic: Twilight
