MUSIC AT NIGHT.
BY ELIZA F. MoRIARTY.

In the dead night when not leaf is stirred,
And stars keep watch withia the shrouded
sky,
Thrilling through space the sweetest sounds are
heard,
While angel harmones seem floating by.
In the dead night lie in tears awake,
And list with eager ears the strains of yore,
And all the while think my heart will break
Yearning for faces that l see no more.
And when the mournful music fades afar,
And silence sactifies the noon of night,
In dreamland's heaven, nlumined with love
sweet star,
/ clasp my darling with divine delight
