Lechlade, Gloucestershire

The wind has swept from the wide atmosphere / Each vapour that obscured the sunset's ray; / And pallid Evening twines its beaming hair / In duskier braids around the languid eyes of Day: / Silence and Twilight, unbeloved of men, / Creep hand in hand from yon obscurest glen.
