The French Ambassador, glowing with

FRANCE-- The Moon, whose mild,
steady and cheerful rays are the delight OF
all nations, consoling them in darkness and

Listening Angels

Blue against the blu,r heavens
Stood the mountain calm and still
Two white angels, bending ca. thwaTd,
Lcant upon the hill.
Listening leani those silent angels,
And also longed to hear
What sweet strain Of earthly music
Thus could charm their ear.
heald the sound Of many trumprtS,
And warlike march draw nigh;
Sylemnly a mighty army
Passed in order by.
But the clang had ceased the echoes
Soon had faded from the hill;
While the angels, calm and earnest,
Leant and listened still.
Then ] heard fainter clamor
Forge and wheel were clashing near,
And the rcapcrs in the meadow
Singing loud and clear.
When the sunset came in glory,
And the toll of day was DER,
Still the angels leant in silence,
Listening as before.
Then, as daylight slowly vanished,
And the evening mists grew dim,
SOlemnly from distant voices
Rose vespeF hymn.
But the chant was done; and, lingering
Died upon the evening air;
Yet from the hill the radiant angels
Still were listening there.
Silent came the gathering darkness,
Bringing with it sleep and rest
Save little bird was singing
In her leaiy nest.
Through the sounds of war and labor
She had warblcd all day long.
While the angels leant and listened
Only to her song.
But the starry night was coming,
And she ceased her little lay );
From the mountain-top the angels
Slowly passed away.
