2 - The twilight turns from amethyst - To deep and deeper blue,

________________________________________________
The twilight turns from amethyst
To deep and deeper blue,
The lamp fills with a pale green glow
The trees of the avenue.

The old piano plays an air,
Sedate and slow and gay;
She bends upon the yellow keys,
Her head inclines this way.

Shy thought and grave wide eyes and hands
That wander as they list -- -
The twilight turns to darker blue
With lights of amethyst.

Read next: 3 - At that hour when all things have repose, - O lonely watcher of the skies,

Read previous: 1 - Strings in the earth and air - Make music sweet;
