At the Gates of Niuht,

There are two gates that guard the
Night:
The one where shadows creep.
And lula bieS come grooming low.
Full -tilrOated soft and deep
Where twilight reaches forth her arms
To all by Day opprs sssed
And lulls them into happiness,
Serene upon her breast.
And from that gate. all dark and cool,
The night road stretches far.
BY palaces of sweet content.
Where many drcanings are:
Where blind may and dumb may
speak,
And sad ones laugh and sing
eat
The pauper be a king.
All through the Night the good road
goes,
Ger valley plain and steep:
Along its sides, in grandeur, rise
The citades Of sleep.
And many things there be that sootIx,
And comfort us, and bless
But best of all, the blossom fair
OF rich forgetfulness.
The other gate that guards the Night
The one that ends the way
Has trumpeters that loudly call
Us forth into the day.
And though we fear the foes of Day
With bitterness aud dread.
We know that through the weary hours
The first gate is ahead.
