Evening
Many a time in the evening glow,
I've heard the gentle cattle low,
I've heard the barking of the dog,
I've heard the croaking of the frog,
I've heard the distant shepherd's call,
While the bright moon shone over all.
This seems to me a Paradise,
  Of joy and love,
With Father, Mother here below,
  And God above.

Aetat 6.
