IN THE NIGHT.

Sometimes in the night, when | sit and write,
| hear the StrangeSt things
As my brain grows hot with a burning tho't
That struggles for form and wings:
| can hear the beat of my swift blOod's feet
As it speeds, with rush and whir.
From heart to brain and back again,
Like racehorse under the spur.
With my souls fine ear | listen and hear
The tender silent speak,
As it leans on the breast Of night to rest
And presses her dus1y cheek,
And the darkness turns in its sleep and yearns
For something that is kin,
And / hear the hiss of a scorching kiss
As it folds and fondles sin.
In its hurrying race thro' leagues of space
can hear the earth catch breath
As it heaves and means, and shudders anC
gr0ans,
And longs for the rest of death,
And high and far from distant star
Whose name is unknown to me,
[ hear a voice that says, Rejoice,
For | keep ward DER thee"
Oh. sweet and strange are the sound that range
Thro' the chambers of the night
And the watcher who waits by the dim dark
gates
Nav hear, if he lists Alright.

The transaction is only equaled by one

In the latter case a man sold his wife

four or five years afterward, when the
original husband bought her back again
