The evening had come, by my window sat,
And nothing was stirring, not even rat,
The moon thro' my window was shining so bright
That nature looked lovely, yes, even at night
/ thought that Dame Nature resembled maiden,
On WHOM sore affection was heavily laden -
She smiled, as she wept pearly dew-drops Of sor-
row
Smiled, for her bright hopes would return on the
morrow.
The mantle she wore, like mourner's was dark,
On my cheek her warm breath came so balmy-
but bark
Tap tap tap, so audby heard at my door,
That bid it "come in" but thought it a " bore "
10 be interrupted while thus in my muse;
But tho't /, some friend perhaps has the "blues,'
And wants to come in to while out an hour
Not stay long, tho't l. for I'll look awful sour
Tap, tap, tap, again heard so plainly, went
To the door, for the purpose to see what it meant
But 10 no one stood there, gazed with surprise,
But thought l, perhaps, e II is all in my eye"s.
But what can it be, say, IS 1t an elf
Or say, can il be the old ID himself?
listened again, tap, tap tap, on the ceiling
1t must be spirit some message revealing =
~ conjure you," cried, "if you spirit,
To rap MS before so plainly can hear it,
When three raps came louder then before
So earnest they came, doubted no more.
Then please let me know by what means | can
tell .
Whether you are friend, or fend of yon hell"
felt strong impulse to go to my stand
Before / scarce knew it my pen was in hand;
l wrote and then read; "iou would know OF my
