NIGHT.
BY LANCELOT.


The drifting moonlight shimmers thro'
White clouds, in billowy, broken riffs;
1t spark 'es softly on the dew, e..
And glimmers Der the rocky cliffs;
The shadowy trees with tasseled cone,,
Bend downward with murmuring moan.
The moonlight shines on hills and dale,
Flecks with light the darkened river;
Glimmers softly, sweet and pale
Falls on trees with dreamy quiver;
Tall monarch OF the ancient wood,
That have for ages darkly stood. l
The light falls sad on marble Yault,
And sad on graves Of dewy green
1t shadows aught that is q fault,
j. But hghtens virtues-rarely seen.
1t dances on the ocean crest
Where foamy waves stop not to rest.
And trees stand dalk against the sky,
And sway with every passing breeze;
The silver stars come out on high
, And twinkle FROST clear o er the trees.
Dark silence reigned in depth profound
Ond shudders at its, break by sound.
Q perfect night Of calm repose!
OF wild, weired beauty, crescent, lit;
o night of flowers! of dewy rose,
And lilies white-thy emblem fit!
o, night of peacel G brooding dove,
May angels wings guard thee with love.

You vowed to do so many things,
That now are never done.
You said, when home from daily toll
l came with aching brown 81 ;a.
Your hand alone should soothe its pain
1t never soothes it now.
You said YOU would no burden be,
And dress rs means allow
But what with silks, rings and things
You do not do SO now.
You used to sacrifice yourself,
And to my wishes bow,
Allowing me to have my way
You never do so now.
You used to sing and play and smile,
And gush l cant tell how;
You won my heart-I grieve to say
You never gush so now.

A Joy 'twould be to die ior me
