THE WIND AT THE DOOR.

Often TO my door
Comes a twilight visitor.
When the mountain summer day
From our valley takes his way.
And the iourneying shadows stride
Over the greca mountain side,
Down the Glove among the trees
Moves the ghostly wandering breeze.
With the hrst stars on tae crest
And the pale light in the west
He Games Up the dark rayine
Where no traveller is seen
Yet his coming makes a stir
In the house Of Ash and Fir.
