Meditation.

sit by the window pane TO gaze
Far out in the heavens that seem ablaze
This stormy night, as the dashing rain
In currents how down the window pane;
The unwilling reeds. in the cones Of pine,
Play dirges that my soul enshrine,
As the green trees bow 10 the wind and rain,
And plash and plash my window pane;
And as gaze thro' the deep, wild night,
At heavens glow, and streaming Light,
I lisp ali. me, she was called away
Where a sun shines on thro' and endless day,
And her form lies cold in its narrow BEL
And heels not the rain beating Ger her head,
While the green trees bow TO the wind and rain
And plash and plash on my window pane.
