A shadow stood BY my bed last night
A shadow wan, and worn, and old;
With frozen look on the wrinkled iaoe,
And the hand he laid on mine was cold.
In the ghostly presence shook with dread,
And shrank from his touch with curdling
fear,
Al cried: "God save mel specter grim,
What sorrowiul errand brings thee herefD
Then the pale lips moved, and whisper came
Like breath from the northwind, chill aad
drear;
"oh, timid mortal, be not sfraid
0t tho shrinking form Of the dying ysarl
lam sealing the records my pen hath made
To be read in the light Of the Great White
Throne;
Hast thou aught 10 tell, ere my book is closed

"with the names Of those who day by day
Scattered the precious seed with tears
Who bound full sheaves In the harvest time,
And garnered stores for the coming year,
have vainly looked, oh, child Of earth,
II thine, perchance, might be entered there;
Arise; be doing; it's not yet to late;
For thee, II thou wilt. there are gleanings
rarei
There are golden grains by others lost;
And sheaves that the reapers in haste forgot
Up, sluggardly soul, from slothiul rest,
The hours are precious; oh, waste them not.
Oh, work! oh, work. for the time is short,
To write thee the Lords ere the bell is tolled
That shall tell to the world that the dead old
year
Is laid in the shadows. stark and oold,'
The bell tolled slow for the old year gone;
Alssi for the work that was left undone!
