Then, when the gloaming comes, Low in the heather blooms Sweet will thy welcome and bed of love be! Emblem of happiness, Blest is thy swelling-place-- O, to abide in the desert with thee! - The Skylark [Larks] That undefined and mingled hum, Voice of the desert never dumb! - Verses to Lady Anne Scott [Nature]
