FRIDAY EVENING, DEC. 18th, 1885.
Written for the Democratic Adrocdte
BY MARY f. WOODS
IT'S evening. and the setting sun,
That through the day his course had run,
Was casting back his last fond ray
To bid farewell to closing day.
The evening clouds that DER him hung
Against the sky in splendor swung
Tinted with carmine, edged with gold,
In grandeur glorious TO behold
Far around the orb of day
shed his gold upon the gray,
While up above the mingled blue
Gave the scene a heavenly hue;
While DER the snow-clad crystal steep,
And through the valleys shadows creep,
When the calm and gentle light
Was slowly fading into night.
The evening star, in brightest trim,
Was peeping through the ether dim,
To add its charms with all the rest
To make the scene more picturesque.
No artist with his brush in hand
Could paint picture half so grand
AS that displayed within an hour
Painted by celestial power.
Then as the great orb sank TO rest,
Shutting in his golden crest.
The picture faded out of sight,
But left on Memory a lasting light;
For in that sight of glitring gold
\ text Of beauty did unfold
An emblem of love divine
shed abroad ON all mankind
