MIG HIT.
Night came down Ger ali the earth.
And took the tired Day,
And clasped her tightly in her arms,
And bore her far away.
The moon like some vast lighthouse seemed
Far up in the milky way;
The glistening stars, ike tiny barks,
At anchor round her lay.
And like single silver thread
That twineS in some dark curl,
The river wound through trees and brakes
A cleaning band of pearl.
heard the soft low dip of oars,
Like weary slow heart throb; Tboat-
And the wayelets lapped the bow of the
A low half broken sob.
And on that night. so long ago,
A vision wondrous sweet
Came to me in its fullest Joy,
80 perfect and complete.
o, golden dream ! why did wake
To find it past and gone
The dream was like glorious day
The waking, cold gray dawn.
IT were better far that had died
Believing it were true,
II were better far to sleep for aye
Beneath the sky so blue,
Than live, when each long weary day
Seems longer than before;
When life is but constant pain
A wound unhealed and sore.
The river still flows murmuring on ;
The stars are Just as bright
AS when the vision came to me
That restful summer night.
The same? Yes. | alone am changed,
Oh, God each weary day
wish that had died that night
The vision passed away.

we admit that the american has
dictatorial jurisdiction over
either the press or the people. |
