TWILIGHT.
A. shadow deepen. the shuttle
OF the frcst swifter plies
'Tvixt natures warp, and swifter weaves
For Earth its subtle guise;
And down the river path, the pines
Echo the dreary cry
OF winds whose dying cadences
Are Natures lullaby.
In the crisp air of growing dusk,
Night s>is her Gordon line.
Thick with groups Of gilt ering stars
That wierdly burn and shine,
And come and go as silently
As lights which, far at sea,
Sail strangely to and fro, guided
By hands we cannot see.

Written for the PREss.l
BY HERBERT M. SYLVESTER.

1.
SUNSET.
Aslsnt the threshold of the West,
Stretches Sombre reef
OF gray, whose low, uneven scsrp,
Outlined I'm sharp relief
Against the sky, is roughly set
With pinnacles that glow
Like Norombega's mystery
OF centuries ago.
The hills, with rugged. rock-set domes,
Wind blown and bare, upresr
Their brightly polished, topaz walls
In the clear atmosphere;
While, from the broken cloud-rifts
Burst the deep, golden foods
OF Natures alchemy that sift
Their glory through the woods
