Evening. OH ! soothing hour, when glowing day, Low in the western wave declines, And village murmurs die away, And bright the vesper planet shines; I love to hear the gale of Even Breathing along the new- leafd copse, And feel the freshening dew of Heaven, Fall silently in limpid drops.

OH ! soothing hour, when glowing day,Low in the western wave declines,And village murmurs die away,And bright the vesper planet shines;I love to hear the gale of EvenBreathing along the new-leafd copse,And feel the freshening dew of Heaven,Fall silently in limpid drops Charlotte Smith’s “Evening”
For, like a friend’s consoling sighs,That breeze of night to me appears;And, as soft dew from Pity’s eyes,Descend those pure celestial tears.Alas ! for those who long have borne,Like me, a heart by sorrow riven,Who, but the plaintive winds, will mourn,What tears will fall, but those of Heaven ?
These lines are taken from Charlotte smith's "Evening". It was written in the Eighteenth century (Romantic age). These are many features' of romantic era. First, There are many scenes of natures, for example, "And breathing the vesper …"(4-5). Second, there is a vast sense of emotion, for example, "And feel the freshening dew of …"(7-8).Third, there is a sense of human suffering, .for example, "like me, a heart by sorrow …"(14-15). Fourth, there is a use of imagination, for example, "And , as soft dew from pity's eyes\ Descend those pure .."(11-12). The language of the poem is clear and easy. I like the fantasy that shows in the description of the night.
