Label: IANTHE. / DRAWN BY J. W. WRIGHT. / Day had gone down, and evening flung / Her shadow o'er the hill; / Day had gone down, and yet, she clung / Beside the lattice still: / She looked upon the river, / No bark its waters bear, / She heard the aspens quiver, / No footstep glideth there: / There was a time, it needed / No eye to strain its sight; / Is all - is all unheeded? / Oh! will he come to night? / Edward Fitzgerald. Book of Beauty, 1835. //
