THE GLOAM MING.

A wish at close of day,
The evening waits;
A hope, a morning ray
From eastern gates:
A bright and sunny spot
Along the stream:
A quiet sheltered grot,
Where we can dream:
A window looking west
Toward sunset gold,
Bespeaking gentle rest
When we are old:
A glow in yonder sky
When shadows creep,
And loves soft lullaby
1nvrteth sleep:
A hand TO clasp in ours
With pressure dear:
And then-Some simple flower,
With friendships near:
A good night cleaning kiss,
Iife's day complete:
A lingering hour Of bliss
Where twilights meet.
