LAST NIGHT I'm THE GLOAMINa.

LAST NIGHT IN THE GLOAMIN8.
I heard the birds singing last night in tn,
cleaning;
Their music was sweet as heavenly choir;
They twtttered and chirped as they came from
their roaming,
And each tried the loudest to tune Its WEI
Tyre.
The robin was there in Its nest in the willow
Twas chirping its birdlings a sweet lullaby
The bluebird was smoothing its soft, downy
pillow.
And calling Its mate still up in the sky.
The daisies were nodding out in the green
meadow.
Their round. golden eyes were beginning tc
close;
brookside,
Were saying good night TO the rose.
The sun, who was sinking behind the green
hintops,
Peeped out from cloud and winked his red
eye;
Methinks he was whispering the bright clouds
around him
81 am going TO rest now. I'll say good by"
The shadows grew deeper The birds were soon
sleeping;
The flowers had closed their sweet petals 60
bright;
While over the mountain the crescent moon
peeping.
Seemed to answer the sun-'Good night,
friend. good night"
