HYMN TO THE NIGHT.

IL.
heard the trailing garments of the Night
Sweep through her marble halls
Isaw her sable skirts all fringed with light
From the celestial walls
felt her presence, by its spell of might
Stoop DER me from above, fIt H
The calm, majestic presence of the Night,
As of the one love.
Iheard the sounds of sorrow and delight,
The manifold soft chimes
That filled the haunted chambers of the Night,
Like some old poets rhymes.
From the cool cisterns of the midnight air
My spirit drank repose i
The fountain of perpetual peace flows there
From those deep cisterns flows.
o holy Night! from thee learn to bear
What man has borne before!
Thou layest thy finger on the lips of Care,
And they complain no more
Peace Peace! Orestes-like breathe this prayer,
Descend with broad-winged flight,
The welcome, the thrice prayed for, the most fair
The best-beloved Night.
