BIT VICTOR HUGO.
Ny daughter, 60 and pray; see. night is come:
One golden planet pierces through the gloom;
Trembles the misty outline Of the hill,
Listen! the distant wheels in darkness glide
Al else is hushed; the tree by the road side
Shakes in the wind its dust strewn branches still.
Day is for evil, WEAKNESS and pain,
Let us TO prayer calm night is come again;
The wind among the ruised towers so bare
sishs mournfuly; the herds the Aocks and
streams,
All suffer, all complain; worn nature seems
Longing for peace, for siumber, and for prayer.
II is the hour when babes with angels speak,
While we are rushing to our pleasures weak
And sinful, all young children, with bent knees,
Eyes raised to Heaven, and small hands folded
fair,
Say at the sef.same hour the sells prayer
On our behalf TO Him who all things sees.
and then they sleep; oh peaceful cradle sleep
Oh, children. hallowed prayer religion deep
OF love, not fear, in happiness expressed!
50 the young bird, when done its twilight lay
OF praise folds peacefully at shut of day
Its head beneath its wing, and sinks 10 rest
Pray thou for all who living tread
Upon this earth Of graves
For all whose weary pathways lead
Among the winds and waves;
For him who madly takes delight
In pomp of silken mantle bright,
Or swiftness of horse;
For those who laboring suffer still;
Coming or going-doing i'll
Or on their heavenward course.
Pray, though, for him who nightly sins
Until the dav dswns bright
Who at eve's hour of prayer begins
The dance and banquet bright;
Whose impious orgies wildly ring,
Whilst pious hearts are offering
Their prayers at twilight dim;
And who, those vespers all forgot.
Pursues his sin, and thinketh not
God also heareth him.
Child pray for all the poor besides;
The prisoner in his CELL
And those who in the city wide
With crime. and misery DWELL
For the wise sage who thinks and dreams;
For him who impiously blasphemes
Religions holy law.
Pray thou-for prayer is infinite
Thy faith may give the scorner light,
Thy prayer forgiveness draw,
