Now by day’s retiring lamp, Lo! the vapours, dense and damp, Through the misty æther spreds Every harm the traveler dreads. Hark! hark! I hear the wanderer’s song, As he winds the hills among; Hark! hark! it is the cry of fear! Wolves howl around him, storm is near. When, from the deep and distant dell, He hears the convent’s matin bell, Bim, bome! bim, bome, bell! And soon the morn’s inspiring rays, His well-known cot, his home displays. from ''Don John or the two Violettas'' Act 1, scene 3 Frederick Reynolds (1764–1841) based on Beaumont and Fletcher’s ''The Chances''
