Like troubled spirits, here and there
The freight shadows futtering 20.

A childish treble breaks the gloom,
And softly from . farther room
Comes, Nov lay mo down to sleep
And. somehow, with the little preyer
And that sweet treble in my ears,
My thoughts 60 back 70 distant years
And liDger with dear one there;
And as hear the child's amen,
Ny mothers faith comes back to me-
Crouched at her side seem to be.
And mother holds my hands again.
Oh. for an hour in that dear place.
Oh, for the peace Of that dear time!
Oh, for that childish trust sublime.
Oh. for glimpse Of mothers face!
Yet. a. the shadows round me creep.
/ do not seem to be alone
Sweet magic Of that treble tone
And Nov lay me down to sleep!.-E.
