This done, I lingered yet a little longer: the flowers smelt so sweet as the dew fell; it was such a pleasant evening, so serene, so warm; the still glowing west promised so fairly another fine day on the morrow; the moon rose with such majesty in the grave east.
Terminato il lavoro, rimasi ancora in giardino; i fiori, sotto la rugiada, sprigionavano un dolce profumo, la serata era serena e tepida; l'oriente imporporato prometteva un bel domani, la luna a occidente saliva maestosa.
