DREAMED TO SLEEP AND
DREAMED AWAKE

When the sun Was at It's setting,
And the summer sky was bright
With the soaring clouds curVetting
III u golden glow OF Light
Musiug b. the mOorlAn,t meadows
Which the water W4nders b.,
In the gilded light and shadows
Failing fainter from the sES;-
There walked, among the willows,
On wllow-waste of land
Where the gilt and giddy bIlloWs
Pratt!ed, washing up the sand.
Lonesome logs were lopd and lying
Midway, buried in the beach;
And the larger owl replying,
Answered loud the lesser's screech.
While the sEillGul sEiGman's rowing
Ceeaxed upon the evening air..
Midst food OF music flowing
From the frogs that figured there;
And pOndered, as wandered
On the threshold Of the night
Thinking thoughts Of that zone hundred"
Rushing wrong, In Russian fight
Til 1 saw, in spectre vision,
Victor vanGuished in the van,
And the demon Of Decision
Making Murder mimic Man
Fellow feeling for his fellow,
Thro' the blindness of his wrath,
Or crushed and Keeling on to WallOW
Down the bloody stream Of death!
.storminS, still the shocking battle
Thunders onward DER the plain,
A the chatting chargers rattle
And the claymores clash again.
Mockins Mars to mad Ambition
Whispers hotIy in the ear,
"CdGrVer chargc IT'S reputation;
Reputation! Dost thou ~
'.Ridsr, ride For home and glory
= Walt and whisper, now, for thee;
Time and t;ie shall tell thy story .s.
ToyOn Island In the sea-
Close hia livid lips COMPRISING,
Speaking not, but spWrriag '..Aye''
Thus to glOry's God contessing;
Riding on, to Ito aud die.
Sick, Of slaughter running riot 80
s- Shocked, at waking battle dream
Coon nodded into quiet;
Sitting, sleeping by the stream.
Then vision, all Elystan,
y Full of sprites aud elans gay, FRS
Like party of Partisan
Beaux and beauties display
rS,.f Spread merry murmur round me
With the voices of the throng,
Softly singing, "they had found nue."
In a gentle joyous song.
Some had wings Of clouilanl gliding
CLOUDS that robe the rising SUM-
And they built beauteous building
Where lwelt, when 1t was done.
Then they came and bowed before me,
Downupon the palace door,
And the Beauties did adore
As they klssd me DER and Ger;
And the soothing song they sansme,
stIll Ia ringing in my ear,
For 1t was the sWeetest-Hang me -
Ever I-eEpect to hear.
Aud with airy, fairy dIgtts,
Smoothing up my mortal crown,
She, the farest, gave me adgets
Every time she eombed me down!
While she sang how she5Eould wed me,
... She, my dTeam-Of-beauty's soul, f.l Is
Till she ceased to comb and fed me
Cooling cream from golden bowl
Z Then lived in Joy complete "a
Mortal mhn has ever known
But Ilroks-to find mosqultos
Biting, and any Beauty gonel
Yes. my Beauty, dreamed and real,
One forever, ever gone;
While the other, you see, all
Feck'd and punCtured to the bone.
MORALE
shall no more, no more go dream
Waking or In holding sleep,
But some all dttouriHg theme
Must the wretehed record keep
In day light If seek to read
Ny paper, Iol some blasty fool
Has fdled it with the hOrrid deet g =
