"NowfLAf ME-"

In the quiet nursery chambers,
Snowy pillows vet impressed,
See the forms ut little children
Kneeling, white-rohed for their rest.
All in quiet nursery chambers,
While the dusky shadows creep,
Hear the voices of the ehil,.ren-
"Now lay me down TO sleep"
In the meadow mud the mountain
Calmly shine the winter stars,
But across the glistening lowlands
Slant the moonlight's silver bars.
In the silence aud the darkness,
Darkness growing still more deep,
Listen to the little children
Praying God their souls To keep.
III we desc pray the children
And the mothers head drops low
Zone from out her fold is sleeping
Deep beneath the winter : snowl,
Take our souls" and past the easement
Fits gleam o crystal light.
Like the trailing of his garments
Walking eyermore in white.
Little souls, that stand expectant
Listening at the gates o life,
Hearing, far away, the murmur
OF the tumult and the STRIFE;
We, who fight beneath those banners
Meeting ranks OF foremen there,
Find deeper broader meaning
lr your simple, yesper prayer.
When our hand shall grasp the standard
Which, to-day, you watch rom far,
When your deeds shall shape the conflict
In the universal war,
PRAY to Him, the God of battles.
Whose strong eye can Dever sleep,
In the warning OF temptation,
Firm and true your souls to keep
When the combat ends, and slowly
Clears the smoke rom out the skies,
When far down the purple distance,
All the noise OF battle dies,
When rhe lust nights solemn shadows
Settle down on you and me,
Nav the love that never faileth
Take our souls externally.
