1.
SWEET gem of Evening’s placid sky!
A stream of radiance round me pour;
For oft thy golden lamp on high,
Has o’er me shone on England’s shore.
2.
Fair Star of Evening! sweetly shine,
Upon this Transatlantic Isle,
And let thy soften’d rays divine,
In torrid regions sweetly smile.
3.
What countless glories round thee stream,
To light the azure rolling main!
How lightly quivers every beam,
Resplendent in night’s gloomy reign!
(Mary Abel Clinckett)
