'June Twilight' by Clarke

Third Year Recital Examination featuring soprano Rhian Tuohy with pianist Andrea Katz at the Sir Zelman Cowan School of Music, 5th November, 2014.

The twilight comes. The sun dips down and sets.
The boys have done play at the nets.
In a warm golden glow the woods are steeped.
The shadows grow; the bat has cheeped.
Sweet smells the new mown hay.
The mowers pass home; each his way through the grass.
The night-wind stirs the fern, a night-jar spins.
The windows burn in the inns.
Dusky it grows; the moon! The dews descend.
Love, can this beauty in our hearts end?
