THE MIDNIGHT STORM.

Midnight winds were bowling by,
And lightnings dazzled the naked eye,
And pierced the heart Of the palling
storm
With one fierce stroke Of his blazing
arm,
AS by the window stood.
1t lastly approached the village green.
Where once the sky was beautifully Sc
And the earth enrobed in emerald's vest,
Was again aroused from itr peaceful
rest,
As ! by the window stool.
The noise and hustle from the beasts
around,
As the rain in torrents fell on the
ground,
Were hushed by the keen and whitening
blast.
That oft from the raging clouds were
cast,
As / by the window stood.
Tho rain drops pattered on the window
glass,
As the mournful lays Of ths stormy
mass
Were hurled away with the gloomy
shade.
Aud freed me from the fearit made.
AS by the window stood.
