THE EVENING STAR.
(Prom the Metropolitan Qaarterly Magasile.) •
Spirit-like, over the brow of night,
Pale star !
I sec thee come in thy dewy light,
From far.—
All day long I have watched for thee
To come from thy
home in the deep blue sea.
And now thou ate here-0, most beautiful thing l
Like one snowy feather on darkness' wing.
F lore not the day-star half so well
To see,
For dreams came now with a power and spell
To me.
Murmurs of song os the voiceless wind,—
And beau tiful aliapes and undeflueti,
Come o'er my spirit, in filmy tile,
And silently sing to me all the while.
A melody—Oh ! bow thrilling and long,
And deep !
And 1:1011 I weave me my web of song,
And weep
But my to irs are not like the tears of day,
Olt no !—they pass like a cloud uway ;
And every tear is a gem of thought,
Dearer than day-light bath ever brought.
And now—and now--his the dawn a day,
And lo !
Slowly, and dim as a moonlight ray,
They go.—
Morningis breaking and I have spun
My web oramg—and my dream is done.
When thou but laved in the tooling sea.
Beautiful Star ! come back to me.
