How sweet were those soft evening hours, When wreathed with the bright blooming flowers, Our boat gently floated along; The shades of the twilight were o’er us, The west blushing brightly before us, And glancing the wavelets among. The night slowly round us was closing; And we, in the silence reposing, So quiet, so happy, were blessed; The moon, rising bright o’er the mountain, Uplifted our hearts to the Fountain Of beauty, and pleasure, and rest. How sweet were those soft evening hours, When wreathed with the bright blooming flowers, Our boat gently floated along; The shades of the twilight were o’er us, The west blushing brightly before us, And glancing the wavelets among.
