The evening had come, by my window sat-
And nothing was stirring, not even a 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.

TO be interrupted while thus in my muse;
But thot /, some friend perhaps has the "blues. ="
