Broken Va citations.

Twas night, and l sat communing with
myself In silence and In solitude;
And visions In thought rushed through my
brain, forming fitful prelude
To the tales that memory promised to bring
from the receding paths of yore,
Where childhocd's joys and merry laugh
was as CLEAN from the golden shore.
The zephyrs toyed with the foliage green
and shadows dark more denser grew;
The full round moon In her silvery sheen
cast upon earth weird view.
The stars, laughing, winking, blinking
sparkling gems all sglow-
Watched DER me as l fell TO thinking
thinking of the days Of long ago.
And just as memory was searching the past
and voices returning used to hear,
Suddenly my thoughts abruptly wandered
strange sounds fell on my ear;
Sounds like the wall of an infant crying,
ora fight for life with grim nightmare;
Then like the whoop of an Indian dying
sounds peculiar on the air.
Again In tones so soft and low, they were
scarcely audible to my ear;
Mild as the zephyrs breathing low, or the
last fond whisper of dying year.
Then of sudden heard no more, all was
hushed as still as death;
We're they foul spirits searching for gore !?
sat like one scarce drawing breath.
Then with burst-a sudden roar, like a
dismal wall borne on the gale,
The surging of waters on the oceans shore,
the midnight whistle on the iron rail.
What could 1t be that had thus combined
to tantalize In mockery-
To test my nerves-3isturb my mind
hold twas cats In jamboree.
" Enough" l said in my heart of hearts,
"Ill have no more OF this,
What manner of cats though singing their
parts. could to my revery add more bliss .?

they had no right to thus enthrall.
They paused but moment-went at 1t
again, "just over the garden wall"
Then once again fell to musing, but fate
ntervened-the die was cast;
Strange sounds that night were bent on
abusing my silent meditative repast.

the homestretch passed that way;
Twas plain with beer he was inflated, sing

And he didn't; for the patrol came rushing
by, the steeds galloping on their way,
And hating, caught him on the fly, and
his fine was SO and costs next day.
And then so near, too near by far, heard
voice singing "Swaunee River"
with thumps on an old guilt
ar. Horrors but didn't 1t make me shiver.
Then yellow canine, like sweeping gale,
came bowling by at Maud gait
With All oyster can tied fast to his tail
raving maniac, sad his fate.
Some fellow inclined to acts unjust, no
doubt elated by the sparkling wine,
Only to betray his confiding trust. had
woed and won this poor canine.
And the moon rolled on In splendor bright,
robed in beauty bewitchingly fair,
And hushed were the mingled voices of
night, family dying on the chilly air.
