THE MOORLA
BY T. b. ALDRIcH.

80 the dreqry, dreary moor1andr'
--LocKsLEY HALL.
The moorland lies dreary waste
The night is dark with DRILLING rain:
In yonder yawning cave Of cloud
The snaky Lightning writhes with pain
And the Wind is wailing bitterly.
0 sobbing rain, outside my door
0 waiting voices, make your moan
Go through the night in blind despair
Your shadowy lips have touched my own
And the Wind is wailing bitterly.
No more the robin breaks its heart
OF music in the painless woods
The ravens croak for such as !,
The plovers screech above their broods
And the Wind is wailing bitterly.
All mournful things are friends of mine
That weary sound of falling leaves =
All, there is not kindred soul
For me on earth, but means and grieves
And the Wind is wailing bitterly.
cannot sleep this Autumn night;
The ghostly rain goes by in haste,
And, further than the eye can reach,
The moorland lies dreary waste
And the Wind is wailing bitterly.
