Have ye ever heard, in the twilight dim, 
A soft low strain 
That ye fancied a distant vesper hymn. 
Borne o’er the plain, 
By the zephyrs that rise on perfumed wing 
When the sun’s last glances are glimmering ? 
II. 
Have ye heard that music with cadence sweet 
And merry peal, 
Ring out like the echoes of Eairy feet 
O’er flowers that steal ? 
And did you deem that each breathing tone 
Was the distant vesper-chime alone ? 
III. 
The source of that whispering strain I'll tell— 
For I’ve listened oft 
To the music faint of the blue Harebell 
In the gloaming soft; 
’Tis the gay Fairy-folk that peal, who ring 
At even-time for their banqueting. 
Miss Twamlst.
