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 ut 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 n mourner's was dark,
On my cheek her warm breath came SO balmy-
but bark
Tap. tap, tap, SO audibly heard at my door,
That bid it "como in" but thought 1t Il - bore "
To be interrupted while thus III my muse;
But tho't /, some friend perhaps has the blues"
And wants to come in to while oul an hour
Mi stay long, tho't l. for I'll look awful sour
Inn, tap, tap, again heard SO plainly, went
10 the door, Tor the purpose to see what it meant
BIZ. 10 no one stood there, gazed with surprise,
But thought |, perhaps, " 1t is all in my eyes.
but what can 1t be, say, is it an elf
Or say, can It he the old ID himself?

iorap as before so plainly can hear it,
When three rars came louder then ever before,
