TIE 9LEEPERS-
They are sleeping! Who are sleeping?
Children, wearied with their playi
For the stars of night are peeping.
And the sun hath sunk away.
As the dew upon the blossoms
Bow them on their slender stem.
So. as light as their own bosoms,
I Balmy sleep hath conquered them
They are sleeping! Who are sleeping?
i Mort ais cempassed round with woe,
Eyelids, wearied out with weeping,
Closed for very weakness now;
And that short relief from sorrow.
Harassed nature shall sustain,
Till they wake again tomorrow,
Strengthened to conterd with pain!
They are sleeping! Whe are sleeping?
Captives. in their gloomy cells; 4.
Yet sweet dreams are Ger them creeping.
With their many-colored spells;
All they again they clasp them;
Feel again their long lost joys;
Blu. the haste with which they grasp them,
Every fairy form destroys.
They are sleeping! Who are sleeping?
Misers by their boarded gold;
And in fancy now are heaping
Gems and pearls Of price untold.
Golden chains their limbs cucumber,
Diamonds seem before them sttswn.
But they waken from their slumber,
And the splendid dream has flswn.
They arc sleeping! Who are sleeping?
Pause a moment, softly tread;
Anxious friends are fondly keeping
Vigils by the sleeper's bed
Other hopes have all fors,ken--
One remains--that sulmber deep;
Speak not, lest the slum berer waken
From that sweet, that saving sleep.
They are sleeping! Who are sleeping?
Thousands, who have passed away
From wsrld of woe and weeping,
To the regions Of decay!
Safe they rest, the greer turf under:
Signing breeze, or music's breath,
Winters wind, or summers thunder,
Cannot break the sleep of death
