The Setting San. 
Sir Walter Scott. 
HOSE evening clouds, that setting ray, 
And beauteous tints serve to display 
Their great Creator’s praise ; 
Then let the short-lived thing called man, 
Whose life’s comprised within a span, 
To Him his homage raise. 
We often praise the evening clouds, 
And tints so gay and bold, 
But seldom think upon our God, 
Who tinged these clouds with gold.
