NIGHT.
BY II w. LoNGFEILow.

The day is done, and the darkness
Falls from the wings Of night,
As feather is waited downward
From an eagle in his fight.
| see the light Of the village
Clean through the Tain and the mist,
Ani a feeling OF sllness comes o'er me,
lia, 90. SOU cauncj tcslst.
A feeling of sadness and longing.
That is not akin TO pain,
But resembles sorrow only
As The mist resembles the rain.
Come, read 10 me some poem,
Some simple and heartfelt lay,
That shall sooth this restless feeling,
And Danish the thoughts of day.
Not from the grand old masters,
Not from the bards sublime,
Whose distant footsteps echo
Through the corridors of Time.
For, like strains of martial music,
Their mighty thoughts suggest,
Life's endless toll and endeavor,
And tonight long for rest.
Read from some humber poet,
Whose song gush from his heart
AS showers from the clouds of summer,
Or tears from the eye lids start
Who, through long days Of labor,
And nights devoid of ease,
Still heard in his soul the umsic
OF wonderful melodies.
Such songs have power 10 quiet
This restless pulse of care,
And come like the benediction,
That follows after prayer.
Then read from the treasured volume,
The poem of thy choice,
And lend to the ryhme of the poet
The beauty of thy voice.
And the night shall be filled with music,
And the cares that infest the day
Shall fold their tents like the Arabs,
And as silently steal away.
