NIGHT DREAMS.


Written for the HERALD.
The night is still. the stars shine bright
And silent Phmhus reigns.
The silvery moon sheds her light
On happiness and pains.
The greed, the strife alike have ceased; !;
The daily toilers sleep.
Hallowed peace round me increased
with solem force and deep.
Round peaceful angels hover,
And twinkling stars above.
Sorrow, sadness. all are over,
And only cheerful love.
Within my breast 'wakens newly,
With hopes SO bright and gay,
While of one sweet face am thinking,
Breaks in the East the day.
