"Höstkväll", a setting of a poem by Viktor Rydberg, Two independent sources
render the second verse thus:

Solen gick ned, det mörknar allt mer öfver moens furor,
mörknar om bergen, där ränniln suckar i ljung *ock* mossa.
Tvinsjukt dröjer ett gulblekt sken,
öfver västliga kullars rand.
Dagens hviskande afsked tonar
sorgset i tätnande skuggor bort.

In other verses, "och" is used throughout. Is that "ock" legit, a deliberate
archaism, or a simple mistake?

Could be mistake, but note the older spellings of över, viskande and avsked.
