by Charlotte Brontë (1816 - 1855)
Eventide
Language: English
The house was still, the room was still 'Twas eventide in June; A caged canary to the sun Then setting, trilled a tune. A free bird on the lilac-bush Outside the lattice heard; He listened long -- there came a hush, He dropped an answering word.
