Explore "Twilight Calm" by Christina Georgina Rossetti on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
O pleasant eventide! / Clouds on the western side / Grow gray and grayer, hiding the warm sun: / The bees and birds, their happy labors done, / Seek their close nests and bide.
Screened in the leafy wood / The stock-doves sit and brood: / The very squirrel leaps from bough to bough / But lazily; pauses; and settles now / Where once he stored his food.
