THE LAND OF DREAMS.

mighty realm is the land of dreams
With sleeps that hang in the twilight sky
And weltering oceans and trailing streams
That CLEAN where tho dusky valleys lie.
But over its shadowy borders flow
Sweet rays from world of endless morn,
And the nearest mountains catch the glow,
And flowers in the nearest field are born
The souls of the happy dead repair
From the lowest of flight to that bordering land,
And walk in the fairer glory there,
with the souls of the living hand in hand.
One calm, sweet smile in that sladowy sphere,
from eyes that open on earth no more
One warning word from voice once dear
How they ring ia the memory DER!
Far off from those ills that shine with the dav
- And fields thnt bloom in the heavenly gales,
The land of dreams goes stretching away
10 DINNER mountains and darker wales.
There lie the chambers of guilty delight,
There walk the spt ctres of hope and fear,
And soft, low voices that float through the night,
Are whispering sin in the gGileless ear.
Dear maid, in thy girloods opening hour,
Scarce weanel ffom .he love of chdhoods play,
The tears on whose cheeks are the opening shower
That freshens tue early bloom of May!
Thine eyes are closed, and over thy brow
Pass thoughtful shadows and joyous CLEANS,
And know by the moving of lips that now
Thy spirit strays in the land of dreams.
Lght-hearted maiden, oh, heed thy feet
oh, Ike where that beam of Paradise falls
And only wander where thou mays meet
The blessed ones from its shining walls.
So shall thou come from the land of dreams
With love and peace to this world of strife,
And the light that Ger its border streams
Shah lie on the path of the daily lie
