Twilight

The sunbeams droppedAs if the very Day paused and grew Eve.

— Twilight

Parting dayThe last still loveliest, till 'tis gone and all is gray.

— Twilight

'Twas twilight, and the sunless day went downOf one whose hate is mask'd but to assail.

— Twilight

Beauteous Night lay deadsickened and shrank.

— Twilight

Let us go then, you and I, Like a patient etherized upon a table;

— Twilight

Alone, what did Bloom feel?the incipient intimations of proximate dawn.

— Twilight

Twilight remained, a fairy half-light in which all things looked much more charming than they really were.

— Twilight

But look, the morn, in russet mantle clad,Walks o'er the dew of yon high eastward hill.

— Twilight

The hour before the heavenly-harness'd teamBegins his golden progress in the east.

— Twilight

Look, the gentle dayDapples the drowsy east with spots of grey.

— Twilight

The weary sun hath made a golden set,Gives signal of a goodly day to-morrow.

— Twilight

Twilight, ascending slowly from the east,Night followed, clad with stars.

— Twilight

Now the soft hourThe harmony to others.

— Twilight

Fair Venus shinesOf softened radiance from her dewy locks.

— Twilight

The summer day is closed, the sun is setIn the red west.

— Twilight

How lovely are the portals of the night,When stars come out to watch the daylight die.

— Twilight

In the twilight of morning to climb to the top of the mountain,Youthful delight, oh, how oft lur'st thou me out in the night.

— Twilight

Sweet shadows of twilight' how calm their repose,When the vesper is heard with its whisper of peace!

— Twilight

The lengthening shadows waitThe first pale stars of twilight.

— Twilight

The gloaming comes, the day is spent,With purple sanguine bright.

— Twilight

The sun is set, and in his latest beamsThe falling mantle of the Prophet seems.

— Twilight

The twilight is sad and cloudy,Hash the white caps of the sea.

— Twilight

The west is broken into barsAnd night infolds the day.

— Twilight

From that high mount of God whence light and shadeTo grateful twilight.

— Twilight

Our lady of the twilight,Her cloak of shanty.

— Twilight

* * * th' approach of nightAnd the low sun had lengthen'd evry shade.

— Twilight

Night was drawing and closing her curtain up above the world, and down beneath it.

— Twilight

Twilight's soft dews steal o'er the village-green,And games and carols closed the busy day.

— Twilight

Twilight, a timid fawn, went glimmering by.And Night, the dark-blue hunter, followed fast.

— Twilight

Her feet along the dewy hillsUpon her violet crown.

— Twilight

Then the nun-like twilight came, violet-vestured and still,And the night's first star outshone afar on the eve of Bunker Hill.

— Twilight

Ah, County Guy, the hour is nigh,The breeze is on the sea.

— Twilight

Her eyes as stars of twilight fair,Like twilight's too her dusky hair.

— Twilight
