THE EVENING HEARTH-STONE.

Gladly now we gather round it,
Fer the toiling day is done,
All the gray and solemn twilight
Follows down the golden sun
Shadows lengthen on the pavement,
Stalk like giants through the gloom.
Wander past the dusty easement,
Creep around the fre-lit room 8
Draw the curtain, close the shutter
Place the slippers by the fire
Though the rude winds loudly mutter,
What care we for wind-sprites' ire
What care we for outward seeming,
Fickle fortunes frown or smile,
If around us love is beaming?
Love can human ills beguile.
Meath the cottage roof and palace,
From the peasant to the king,
All are quaffing from life's chalice
Bubbles that enchantment bring.
Crates are glowing, music flowing
From those lips we love the best
oh the joy, the bliss of knowing
These are hearts on which TO rest.
Hearts that throb with eager gladness-
Hearts that echo to our own
Which with care and mounting sadness
Mingle ne'er in look or tone.
Care may tread the halls of daylight,
Sadness haunt the midnight hour;
But the weird and witching twilight
Brings the glowing hearth dover
Altar of our holiest feelings,
Childhood's well-remembered shrine,
Spirit yearnings, soul revealings,
Wreaths immortal round thee twine.
