Question

\it is a beauteous evening, calm and free\
it is a beauteous evening, calm and free,
the holy time is quiet as a nun
breathless with adoration; the broad sun
is sinking down in its tranquility;
the gentleness of heaven broods oer the sea;
listen! the mighty being is awake,
and doth with his eternal motion make
a sound like thunder—everlastingly.
dear child! dear girl! that walkest with me here,
if thou appear untouched by solemn thought,
thy nature is not therefore less divine:
thou liest in abrahams bosom all the year;
and worshippst at the temples inner shrine,
god being with thee when we know it not.
