by Walter Scott, Sir (1771 - 1832)
The sun upon the lake is low
Language: English
The sun upon the lake is low, The wild birds hush their song; The hills have evening's deepest glow, Yet Leonard tarries long, Now all whom varied toil and care From home and love divide, In the calm sunset may repair Each to the loved one's side.
