NIGHT.

The stars that sparkle in the skis
with purer radiance glow
As nights dim shadows slowly rise
And dnrken all below.
But when the morning comes again.
Rejoicing on its way,
We search the vacant skies in vain
To find n single ray.
The holiest visions Of the blest
Descend not in the light,
But spring from evenings starry breast
To beautify the night,
And sweeter songs than ever rose
Our aching hearts to bind
Come with the evenings calm repose
And leave no trace behind.
