THE SHEPHERDS SONG.

The night is still
In all the folded valleys and the
deep
Chasms where shadows sleep;
Beyond the summit of that pine
clothed hill
The blue snow-circled peaks
Press their cold, pallid cheeks
Against the cold blue sky;
In the warm folds, where faint the
shadows creep,
Ny gentle focls all safely lie
Asleep.
The night is calm
In that dark region where the vapors
hide
The valley, dim and wide,
Stretching from range TO range; the
slender palm
Waves its fringed foliage there
In the same throbbing air
That blows against my face,
And stirs the waves Of yon pine
Swallowed stream;
There lies my Love in her far place,
Adream.
