A HYMN TO THE NIGHT -. By t. BUCHANAN REAR

Oh Night most beautiful, most rare
Thou giv'st the heavens their hottest hue
And through the azure fields Of air
Bringest down the gentle dew
Most glorious occupant Of heaven,
And farest of the earth and sea
The wonders Of the sky are given,
Imperial Night, to thee
For thou, with breathlese lips apart,
Didst stand In that dim age afar
And hold upon thy trembling heart
Messiahs herald star
In Olivet thou heardst him pray,
And wept thy dews in softer light,
And kissed his sacred tears away
Thrice blessed, loving night
And thou ddst overweight with sleep
The watchers at the sepulehre;
And heard'st the asking Mary weep,
Till Jesus answered her.
For this love thy halowed reign
For more than this thrice blest thou ert
Thou gain'st the unbeliever's brain
By entering at his heart
Night most regal most divine
Thou lift'st the spirit from the dust
Gods best and brightest gifts are thine,
All thiIe, and 1t is just
