A Mothers Waking.

AL night the dews in silence wept
And through the pane the moons pale bean
Played on the floor in silver streams, ja..r
While by my side my baby slept.
So soft, so sweet the midnight stole,
1t stiled the breezes on the lea,
And hushed the murmur of the sea,
And hushed the strife within my soul;
And silenced all the questions wild
That come between our faith and God,
And bade me lie beneath the rod
Calmly as lay the sleeping child.
Then sumber on my eyeids pressed,
And dimmed the moonbeams silver clear,
And hid the sound loyed to hear
The breathing of the babe at rest.
Till o'er the sea in rosy light,
The flush of morning slowly crept,
And whispering breezes softly swept
The silent shadows of the night.
Then wrapt in dreamland far away, +.
saw the angels come and go,
And iutter of their white wings show
Like ocean bird at dusk of day.
They came and looked within my eyes,
With their sweet eyes so pure and true,
And sang low songs all strange and new,
The music of the eternal skies.
But waking, To- a cherub smiled,
Heaven in her soft eyes azure deep,
And radiant from her rosy sleep,
An angel half, and half a child.
And little hands were touching me,
And tiny rills of laughter broke
From lips that kissed me as I woke,
And called my name in baby glee.
And all the vision Heavenward swept
Lost in the gold and crimson sky,
Their farewell whispers floating by
One angel in my arms kept.
