Cloud Dreams.

Misty shrines ye seem,
Clouds Of night
When the distant thunders moan,
In unearthly monotone,
Doth my spirit dream
OF dark Druid rite;
Takes the owlets scream
For wilder theme,
Clouds, ye clouds Of night
Seem We chancels pale,
Clouds of night! It
High and stern as moonless fame,
Haunted by the Ghouls dark train,
Bend ye to the gale
:. Loss, 70 cold and bright,
Till loves snowy veil
Seems your biowy trail,
Clouds, ye clouds of night
CHASTITY faces CLEAN,
Clouds of night!
From the chinks of gloomy cells,
Where the thunder's pan swells,
And the lightnngs beam
Is their only light;
Lonely captives do they seem,
Peering through your star-sprent stream,
Clouds ye clouds Of night
Volumes writ on high,
Clouds of night!
Mystic tales of distant spheres,
Pages blistered DER with tears
Ofweird poesy,
Seem yc to my sight;
Faint We grow, my eye
Watches anxiously,
Clouds, ye clouds of night!
