SUNSET GATES AJAK.

Tonight as sat at my window,
When the west was all agleam
With that strange and wonderful splendor.
That is fleeting as a dream;
thought that the hands of the angels
Had flung open heavens gateway wide
And caught q glimpse of the glory
From the hills on the other side.
Is it not beautiful fancy,
This sunset thought of mine,
That the gates of heaven are always
Flung open at the days decline,
That those whose day is ended
OF earthly woes and ills,
May pass to the morning sunshine,
That dwells on tie heavenly hills?
When for me the sunset gateway
Shall at days decline inclose.
And / pass in through its portals
To its long and sweet repose.
And / know that shall remember
In that city so fair and far
My strange aad beautiful fancy
Of the sunset gates ajar.
Perhaps while | sat there dreaming
OF the gateway in the west
Some poor soul went through its portals
To q long and endless rest;
Passed through the sunset gateway
To that e city paved with gold
Passed into the new lifeS gladness
To be no longer old.
