AN EYE-OPENER-
From slumber sweet. at early morn,

While en- my wildered senses grew
The name of the awful thing he blew.
That man, next fat, l hear him yet,
Who played deaf ming clarionette-
I'd often heard him play before
In opera, on. many a score.
But not alone, at early day,
To drive my sleep, sweet sleep. away.
I'd often praised his wondrous flow
OF perfect notes, but now know
The way he makes the music win,
And may the saints forgive my sin,
For / have wished him safe at rest
Upon a Lords forbearing breast,
Or that the man who played at morn
Had never to this life been born!
The clairionette at last was stiii
And now, methought, III sleep at will
When on the morning stiffness rose,
A sound that all my senses froze.
A woman singing. No. no; oh, no!
She shrieked, she screamed as If in
woe.
sat straight up in bed. athirst
For human blood; oh, that / burst
Arrange gatling gun some place
And sweep those SOUNDS TO endless
space.
But he must in the town band play,
She sings in church: I stay away.
