How sweet the evening shadows fall,
Advancing from the west;
And ends the weary week OF toll,
And comes the day ofrest
Bright o er the earth the star OF eve
Hes radiant beauty sheds;
And myriad sisters calmly weave
Their light around our heads.
Rest, man, from labor rest from sin;
The worlds hard contest close;
The holy hour with God begin;
Yield thee to sweet repose.
Bright Ger the earth the morning ray
Its sacred light will cast;
Fair emblem of the glorious day
That evermore shall last.

THE SPIRIT OF SADNESS

Gently DER my heart it stealeth,
Whence it comes may not know,
flushing every tone of gladness,
Breathing music sad and low;
Hanging dim and shadowy curtains
Der the windows of my soul,
Holding breathless thought and feeling
Meath its magical control.
Dipping up the crystal ieardrops
With dim and unseen hand,
Spreading wells of mist and shadow
Ger the spirits fairy land;
Weary task 10 be REFRESHING
Tears dare not bid TO mount,
And li.i their low quick dropping
Back into their hidden fount
Oh, l know not why this spirit
Hath such power m. soul to win,
Even while mine eyes are burning
Weeping silently within;
And a low, quick sight is stifed
Deep within my swelling heart,
As check with painful effort
Tears that 10 my eyelids start.
Happy voices ring around me,
LigLssome forms are gliding by;
Falls the light on brows unclouded
As stArlit summer sky;
Music. mirth together blending
Chain each sense with magic art,
ALI is bright, and yet this gladness
Wakes no echo in my heart.
Do not ask me why sadness
Sits enthroned upon my brow,
Do not bid my heart be joyous,
List its mournful answer now.
Should join your gladstone circle
Joy would cease its happy flight,
Trailing in the dust his pinions,
Robbed of all their wonted light.
Swell on high your joyous music,
Let the laugh ring loud and light,
Leave me 10 my world of sadness,
For cannot smile tonight;
Gaze into my eyes and view them
Sending back no answering ray,
Leave me now until the morrow,
And too will then be gay
