POETRY.
lFor the Press.l
Beside the Fire.

The white moon stands above white fields,
The winds blow up, The winds blow down;
And at the window pane the elm
Taps lightly with its fingers brown
While on the hearth the fire burns bright
Filling the glad room with its light.
Out into darkness of the night
The crimson splendOr wanders forth,
And falls on snowdrifts, that were mocked
By tbe cold rose-fames of the north
All, what warm radiance shall be cast
On the deep drifts that fold the past?
Come near, more near, shadows dear!
Clasp close and strong, soft hands unseen,
Bring back to weary days that are
The dead, sweet hours that have been
And as the embers fade to gray.
Let all the present fail away.
o faces that the past days knew!
Onames unsaid for many year!
AS by the wreathing smoke made dim,
Familiar forms, yet strange, appear;
Remembered look and touch and tone
Glmmer moment-and are gone.
How shall we say of any day
Wherein our hands to toll were set,
That it was worthless or was vain?
For surely love with love was met;
And every unforgotten thing
Is as pearl upon a string.
All. how shall silent, long-dead days
Be warmed of this days passionate fame?
Sweet ghosts and fair, they only are
That from the land of shadows came.
They pass as days pass, one by one,
And leave the day that is-alone.
