NIGHT.

| o gentle Night! 0 thought-inspiring Night!
| HnmblyI bow before thy sovereign power;
| Sadly own thy all-unequalled might
To calm weak mortal in his darkest hour; :
| Spreading thy robe DER all the mass of care,
| Thou bidd'st the sorrowful no more despair.
When high in heaven thou bidd'st thy torche
shine
Casting on earth holy. peaceful light.
My heart adores thee in thy calm divine.
f sohsd bg5a by asf II ay ba9nasg Esh
My soul doth rest, since thou, @ Night rtnigh
When thon hast cast 0. .er all the sleeping land
I-lfhy darkened robe the symbol of thy state.
Alone beneath heavens mightiness stand,
Musing on life. eternity and fate;
Mayhap with concentrated thought try
To pierce the cloud of heavens great mystery.
'Ts then sweet music in the air hear.
Like rippling waters falling soft and low;
With soul enraptured do list, yet fear
IT'S not such music as we moFtals know:
It watts the soul from earthly things away,
Leaving behind the senseless form of clay.
Friends, kindly faces crowd around me there
Friends loved the better since they passed
away.
Leaving legacy of.wild despair
~, And now see them as IN full orb'd day,
The long lamented once again descry.
Bask in each SMILE gaze IN each speaking eye.
o blest reunion, Nights almighty gift;
Lent for time unto the thoughtful mind;
When memory can o'er the clouds uplift
The startled soul away from all mankind,
Throw wide eternity majestic gate,
And grant n view of the immortal state.
And thou, O Night! who cam st these spirits
raise.
Giv'st Immortality to mortal eyes.
To thee tune mine unadorned praise,
And chant thy glories to the list ming skies;
Watt, O ye winds! the floating notes along;
Ye woods and mountains, echo back the song.
