[00:06.71]It is a beauteous evening, calm and free,[00:11.40]The holy time is quiet as a Nun[00:14.23]Breathless with adoration; the broad sun[00:17.96]Is sinking down in its tranquility;[00:21.23]The gentleness of heaven broods o'er the Sea;[00:25.38]Listen! the mighty Being is awake,[00:29.11]And doth with his eternal motion make[00:31.53]A sound like thunder—everlastingly.[00:36.43]Dear child! dear Girl! that walkest with me here,[00:41.82]If thou appear untouched by solemn thought,[00:45.66]Thy nature is not therefore less divine:[00:49.44]Thou liest in Abraham's bosom all the year;[00:53.28]And worshipp'st at the Temple's inner shrine,[00:57.61]God being with thee when we know it not.[01:01.70]
