The evening darkens over <br />After a day so bright, <br />The windcapt waves discover <br />That wild will be the night. <br />There's sound of distant thunder. <br /> <br />The latest sea-birds hover <br />Along the cliff's sheer height; <br />As in the memory wander <br />Last flutterings of delight, <br />White wings lost on the white. <br /> <br />There's not a ship in sight; <br />And as the sun goes under, <br />Thick clouds conspire to cover <br />The moon that should rise yonder. <br />Thou art alone, fond lover.<br /><br />Robert Seymour Bridges<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-evening-darkens-over/
