SONNET
When Philomel her evening psalm hath ceased
Whilst raptured Echo sinks to sleep again,
And men return to consciousness Of pain,
On glow worms doth she solitary feast.

Seeks for that mystic light which. not In vain
Bestowed BY him whose WISDOM as his reign,
Is boundless, leads to everlasting rest;
