An autumnal evening (Macleod, set by F. Hart) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Deep black against the dying glow
    The tall elms stand; the rooks are still;
    No windbreath makes the faintest thrill
Amongst the leaves; the fields below
    Are vague and dim in twilight shades --
    Only the bats wheel in their raids
On the grey flies, and silently
Great dusky moths go flitting by.
