Written for the Sunday journal.
A Broken Reverie.
Sometimes while sitting here alone half dreaming
When free from toiling through the ive-long day,
There come to me from changeful embers cleaning,
Familiar faces long since passed away.
There come to the melodies of childhood
Like hutenotes waited the twilight air
Or birdsong from the dingle in the wildwood
When deeper shades of evening gather there.
And vagrant fancy, like some minstrel rover
Wakes tuneful notes from mem rvs golden keys,
Until catch the scent of blooming clover
And hear the low, sweet murmur of the bees.
Until again in woodland haunts rambe
With bare, brown feet, and heart untouched with
care,
Or gather tribute from each grape and brambe,
As songful as the mock bird singing there.
Until, alas the feeble embers dying,
The pleasing phantoms vanish from my sight;
And naught is heard fearful, sad winds signing
And in my thoughts creep shadows of the night.
But while tonight within those shadows sitting,
Deep melancholy gloom enskrouding me,
There came a night-robed. blue-eyed angel fitting
And all unbidden perched upon my knee.
Her baby arms around my neck were stealing,
Her silken curls across my face were drawn
When in my heart there a restful feeling
And all the shadows from my thoughts gone.

Here we are in twilight-land;
Creakety -creak,
Rocking chairs to every hand
Sway, and swing, and squeak;
Here is neither park nor street;
Bare are the little twinkle feet;
White are the gowns and loose;
No place here for ball or bat,
No need now for coat or hat,
None for stockings or shoes.
What are the stories of twilight-landl
Hark, ali, bark!
Call the sweet names where they stand,
Waiting in the dark;
Cinderella and little Bo-Peep,
Who lost her sheep, her pretty sheep;
Jack Horner, bold Boy Blue,
And the three bears living in the wood,
And the wolf that ate Red Riding Hood,
And the spinning pussy, too.
The little children in twiIight-land
Are still as mice.
And the story-teller must understand
She's to tell each story twice.
The crickets chirr. the stars eyes wink;
Perhaps the man in the moon may think
Them saucy in their play;
But, whatever is heard. said, or done,
Each sleepy. weary little one
Gets rested for next day.
For the pillow is white in twilight-land
And white the bed
And tn tender loving m others hand
Is laid on the drowsiest head
And Ii st. the tune she huns and sings,
AS with soft creak the rocker swings,
How far away it seems!
That tune-that lullaby-ah, me-
They are leaving twilight-land. you see,
For the stiller land of dreams.
