AT THE LAST.

The stream is calnest when it nears the tide,
The flowers are sweetest at the eventido,
The birds more musical at close Of day,
And saints diyinest when they pass away.
Morning is lovely, bat holier charm
Lies folded close in Evenings robe of balm;
And weary man must ever love her best,
For Morning calls to toll, but Night to rest.
She comes from Heaven, and on her wing
doth bear
A holy fragrance, like the breath Of prayer;
Footsteps of angels follow in her trace,
To shut the weary eyes of Day in peace
All things are hushed before her as she throws
Der earth and sky her mantle of repose;
There is a calm. beauty, and power
That Morning knows not, in the evening hour
Until the evening we must weep and TOLL
Plow liie's stern furrow, dig the weedy soil
Tread with sad feet our rough and thorny way
And bear the heat and burden of the day.
o. when our sun is setting may we glide,
Like Summer evening down the golden tide;
And leave behind us as we pass sway,
Sweet, starry twilight round our sleeping clay
