Between those maiden friends OF old.

With grave and rolemn thoughts imbued,
And measured, gentle psco. they passed,
Tho hour, the scene their tones subdusd,
As faint and fainter fell the last
6ad plaintiye strain Of holy prayer
10 thrilling In it's dying close
That, as inspifed--in chorus share
Spontaneous each voice arose
In Itch. fun tones-doep from tho heart
Gushed forth again that fading prayer.
Each hill and valley bearing part
In softened echoes through the air,
While twilight falls. ON hill and dale,
As clouds Cf eyo Ocrhang tho west,
Draping. with floating, gorgeous vail
The portals whence the day seeks regt.
Till fades tic Light from that fair west,
And stars come glimmring forth on high,
Sweet nature hnsAed la dewy rest,
As calm rcposlug al things lie;
While Night slow fold hor dlsky wings,
And silence reigns Dor hill and plain.
