Speech after long silence; it is right,

All other lovers being estranged or dead,

Unfriendly lamplight hid under its shade,

The curtains drawn upon unfriendly night,

That we descant and yet again descant

Upon the supreme theme of Art and Song:

Bodily decrepitude is wisdom; young

We loved each other and were ignorant.

William Butler Yeats

Answer 2

In the meadow calm, the breeze does gently blow,
Through fields of gold where lilies softly grow.
The sun sets low, painting the sky in hues,
As shadows lengthen and evening ensues.
A solitary bird sings its evening song,
As dusk descends, the day grows ever long.
The world quiets down, embracing the night,
In peaceful slumber, bathed in soft moonlight.
