Or an air-disaolv6d alar
Mingling light and fragnnce, far
From the curved horizon's bound,
Filla the overi!owi11g sky ;

Of the far level grnss and nodding Bowers,
And the old dandelion's bonry benrrl,
And, mingled with tbe shades of twilight, lay
On the brown m&Esy woods ; &nd in the enat
The broad aud burning moon lingeringly rose
Between the black trunk a or the crowded treea,
While the faint atars w~re ga.~hering overhead.
