## Summary

Twilight and falling dew; a little bell And answering bell, from campanile far, Chime and are silent; one triumphant star Conquers the after-glow, that like a shell, Nacreous and rose, vibrating as it dies, Faints on the lifted forehead of the snow, Falls from the deepening purple of the skies And falling fades upon the hill below. Unnumbered olive-trees, like hooded wights, Stand solemn in their companies and grey; Mule-mounted men go clattering down the way To yonder galaxy of earth-born lights. The crepuscule from sea and radiant land Hath drunk the colour; night lifts up her hand For peace before the coming of the moon-- All darkling heaven will be silver soon.
