And trees, and shrubs, no longer budding seen, 2) TWILIGHT REPOSE; MIDNIGHT STORM OF THUNDER AND LIGHT *). Still twilight, welcome! Rest, how sweet art thou! Now eve o'erhangs the western cloud's thick brow: With fiery treasures fraught; that on the sight Anon tir'd labourers bless their shelt'ring home, Shakes his straw roof, and jars his bolted doors: And quick and strong the sulphurous flame descends: And cringes at the door with piteous cries. Where now's the trifler? where the child of pride? These are the moments when the heart is try'd! Nor lives the man with conscience e'er so clear, But feels a solemn, reverential fear; Feels to a joy relieve his aching breast, *) Summer. When the spent storm hath howl'd itself to rest. 3) AUTUMNAL EVENINGS; A WELCOME TO THE SNOWY NIGHTS OF WINTER *). In safety hous'd, throughout Night's length'ning reign, - The cock sends forth a loud and piercing strain; The shades of twilight follow hazy noon, day that slides by To meet the threats of Boreas undismay'd, Then welcome, cold; welcome, ye snowy nights! But bless the Power that rules the changing year; *) Autumn. 4) ADDRESS TO THE DEITY *). Eternal Power! from whom those blessings flow, Teach me still more to wonder, more to know: Wander the leaf-strewn wood, the frozen plain : Anhang. I.
