Evening landscape See base text
Language: English
The sun has set, and the long grass ...
Waves dreamily in the evening wind;
And the wild bird has flown from that old gray stone
In some warm nook a couch to find.
In all the lonely landscape round
I see no sight and hear no sound,
Except the wind which
Come sighing o'er the healthy sea.
Note: in the Fisk work, this is sung by Nelly
