TWILIGHT MUSIC.

Now in the cleaning, as the day light is fading
And all nature is sinking to rest,
Let music reign, sing some simple lay,
while the birds are seeking their nests.
An old time song that will bring TO mind,
Voices and forms Of the long-ago,
When life was young and hope bright,
And the hearts knew naught OF woe.
Let the Jubllate. Dead's and Anthems lie,
For brighter hearts and cathedral's dim,
Faniasias and operas, for the Concert Hall,
Here letitbc some old time hymn.
Sing Of the, "fount Of every blessing
The fount that for all doth flow,
These cares may all be washed away,
And souls made white aa snow.
Or "Jeuus lover Of my soul" our souls,
Though deillcd and blackened by sin,
Yes sing OF Him, the sinners friend
Till His peace rcigns within.
Sing I'LL care and pain forgetting,
In spirit We can soar away.
Where comes no care no pain.
So twilight but an unending day.
