Her hand strayed over the organ notes,
And there rose such music sweetly grand,
That as l listened I sighed and thought,
The notes are touched by an angels hand.
The sunlight stole through the diamond panes,
And fell on her golden ripping hair,
And as I gazed, L proudly thought,
A crown of glory is resting there.
Through the open window murmur came
Of summer breezes. sweet and clear
And as I,heard, sadly thought,
IT'S an angels wings that are rustling near.
l stood by her side in the golden light,
Ny hand on hers / laid
''Oh love, would always see you thus"
With faltering lips, l said.
I stand in that lonely room once more.
But the golden light is fed,
And the hand that strayed DER the organ note.
Is motionless and dead.
And 1 think of that evening long ago,
When our love had just begun,
And / saw her sitting by my side
In the light of dying sun.
And I turned away from that darkened room,
With my two hands locked in prayer.
That as l had seen her long ago,
So might see her there
So 1 might hear that angels song,
And look in her changeless eyes,
When the light of the never dying sun
Shall shine on Paradise.

The Day is Done.
BY n. W. LoNGFELLo

By n. w. LoNGFELLow
The day is done, and the darkness
Falls from the wings of Night,
Asa feather is waited downward
From an eagle in his fight.
1 see the lights of the village
CLEAN through the rain and the mist
And a feeling of sadness comes Ger me,
That my soul cannot resist:
A feeling of sadness and longing,
That is not akin to pain,
Aud resembles sorrow only
As the mists resemble the rain.
Come, read to me some poem,
Some simple aud heartfelt lay,
That shall sootho this restless feeling,
And Danish the thoughts Of day.
Not from the grand old masters,
Not from the bards sublime,
Whose distant footsteps echo
Through the corridors Of Time.
For, like strains of martial music,
Their mighty thoughts suggest
Life s endless toll and endeayor:
And tonight long for rest.
Read from some humber poet,
Whose songs gushed from his heart,
AS showers from the clouds or summer,
Or tears from the eyelids start;
Who, through long days of labor,
And nights devoid of ease,
Still heard in his soul the music
OF wonderful melodies.
Such songs have power to quiet
The restless pulse of care,
And come like the benediction
That follows after prayer.
Then read from the treasured volume
The poem of thy choice,
And lend to the rhyme of the poet
The beauty of thy voice.
And the night shall be filed with music,
And the cares that infest the day
Shall fold their tents, like the Arabs,
And as silently steal away
