In the Night.

Ycster-night the shadows blcnt
With the lights that came and went;
IN the midnight deep and lone
List lining heard l this sweet tone:
"Wheh the jcsaminc's golden braid
Mingled with thy locks, dear maid,
Meath a shadowy gardcn-tree,
Thou didst plight thy faith to me.
"'rhcn the border. flowers lay white,
In the full moons tender light,
And the tulips red and dull
Seemed with honey dew o'crfull.
"Apd thou said'st-while bushes meek
Crimsoncd on thy brow and check
When the maj les cast their leaves,
And the reapers bind their sheaves;
when the clover-boom is dead,
And the berries darkly red
In the upland hedges shine,
Dearest love! will'bc be thine
"Now the starlight's silver drift
Thro' the naked branches slit;
And the garden-bloom is dead,
Each wild wing has seward fed,
"Whcrc the golden tropics burn;
Dropping incense from each urn,
Crimson roses, lilies white,
Nio!cts filled with gorgeous Light
"Eut the land wherein dwell
Softer yet his whispers fell
"a is cold and dark and dumb
Dear wait thee. wilt thou come 7"
Clouds Of white. and amber mist
Dressed with gold and amethyst,
Driitcd swcetly in my sight
While listened yester-nght.
When the autumn-timc was here,
And the leaves were falling sere
In the solemn cypress shade
\ low, narrow, grave was made.
Give me comfort give me grace!
That l too may lie in peace
With napkin on my face.
