The daily phoenix. [volume] (Columbia, S.C.) 1865-1878, 1872-04-26

When twilight gathers Ger the ecene,
And day has sadly ceased to be,
AZ tnat sweet hour let happy thoughts
Ask you then to think Of me.
Oh! think Of me at night. the tomb of day.
Kept by the stars which deck the azure sky
When Luna, with her placid face,
Doth smile from of her throne on high:
when in thy sleep spirit comes,
AND whispers pleasant dreams to thee,
Oil may my name bu spoken first,
And hrst in dream you think OF me.
