The Night Wind.

Once, hen the night wind clapped its
wings,
And shook the window bars and roof,
| heard the souls of battle kings
Drive by in clashing proofi
Sometimes, a runi,s strife is kept.
OF winter nights, in sleeted trees;
Or underneath the ca yes 10 crept-
A swarm of murmuring bees.
Or, now, wild huntsmen of the air
In hollow chase their bugles blew,
While swift DER wood and hilltop bare
The shrill voiced quarry few.
Sometimes | heard of lovers flown,
Safe, under ward of storm and night,
To where, In sylvan lodge, there shone
A taper kind and bright.
These things the night wind used to tell,
And still would tell. If | might hear: J
sorrow sleeps too sound and we'll
To lend "a dreamful ear.
