| [00:06.71] |
It is a beauteous evening, calm and free, |
| [00:11.40] |
The holy time is quiet as a Nun |
| [00:14.23] |
Breathless with adoration; the broad sun |
| [00:17.96] |
Is sinking down in its tranquility; |
| [00:21.23] |
The gentleness of heaven broods o'er the Sea; |
| [00:25.38] |
Listen! the mighty Being is awake, |
| [00:29.11] |
And doth with his eternal motion make |
| [00:31.53] |
A sound like thunder—everlastingly. |
| [00:36.43] |
Dear child! dear Girl! that walkest with me here, |
| [00:41.82] |
If thou appear untouched by solemn thought, |
| [00:45.66] |
Thy nature is not therefore less divine: |
| [00:49.44] |
Thou liest in Abraham's bosom all the year; |
| [00:53.28] |
And worshipp'st at the Temple's inner shrine, |
| [00:57.61] |
God being with thee when we know it not. |
| [01:01.70] |
