Gilman, who died in Washington, September
10. "Through her daughter, Mrs. Lippitt,"
says the Critic, 1--WE have received the last
thing she ever wrote II is bit of blank
verse, entitled My Night Thoughts, com
posed at Tiverton, X. L., five years ago (June
A. 1889, just before the poet entered upon her
Goth year. She had come to the North to live,
having left Charleston on account OF the death
of her eldest daughter At the foot of her bed
In her new home hung copy OF the Sistine
Madonna. The lines which the picture sug-
gested are as follows"
They laid my eldest in her hower-crownd
] left her there, and sought another home
To rock the or IDLE of my closing years
Another home Of dear caresslng love.
o'ercome with age, and travel.worn, I sought
Early repose The suns last golden rays
Lit up a glorious Raphael on the wall
The Pope was there, in regal vestments robed,
Kneeling on rolling clouds, his mitre dofed
In homage-hs awe-struck gaze upraised.
| 81, Barbara In her howing robes was there,
| With modest eyes, doWnCast, In dazZled glow,
| Below the cherubs twain their wings unfurled
In innocent excitement, talked apart.
| Above, amid angelic throngs, In light,
] Clasplng IN strict embrace the Infant Chlld,
/ The Mother stood In homely majesty
Seeing this, slept. At midnight, waking,
/ A shadow from the nisbt lamp Iel across
! Tie artist group, No holy Pope was seen,
| Nor sanity maiden IN her loyeliness
/ Darkness was DER them; but the cherubs twain
Prattling their heavenly talk were still In light
While IN the higher clouds. In myriad throngs
| Arose the Mother, with the wOndrous Child,
Methought, It's Well-the augury Is fair.
| POpes disappear, lost In palaIial gloom,
And Saints gro " dim, In old historic lore;
Darkness may reign around; but still, above,
| In light OF Faith and Love, will Woman hold
The Christie Child IN her arms.
