POETRY
From the New York Tribune.
EVENING.

r rom the New York Tribune.
EVENING.
The day is gone! one golden cloud
Floats softly DER the evenings birth,
And, like weary pilgrims shroad,
The twilight droops around the earth.
How fair the moon from ont the skies
Filings out her mild and silv'ry CLEANS,
And all the stars, like conscious eyes,
Reflect themselves in lakes and streams.
The winds are hushed, the leaves are still,
And not breath the silence breaks,
Save when some zephyr's gentle thrill
The dew drop from the rose tree shakes.
Yet. hear |, far across the vale,
And from the shadow of yon hill,
The kittydid pours forth her tale,
And sadly sings the whippoorwill.
O, holy, calm, delightful hour!
Who feels not tenderes for your sake2
As by an angels quick ming power,
01ool', s.dis, ana music, blending wake.
delightful hour nor night nor day,
But just The glorious space between
Which mingles both then melts away,
Like dreams which are not, yet have been.
How fifty life is typed therein,
Where darkness gathers round our way,
While far beyond the light is seen
Which centres in g perfect day.
