Obsolete. "The damp, unwholesome air of evening." This was added to the page by Equinox in August 2018, but it was added without any citations. Onelook shows that only Rhymezone has given this definition. Merriam-Webster gives "an evening love song." However, neither definition appears in any of the other dictionaries listed there.
