MIDNIGHT IN CAMP

Vast pinelands by the foot of man un'

And the tall frs that all day long have
Balsamic odors where the sunshine
burned
Chant to its harping primal epics, learned
When this old world was young
Beyond the lake, white, girdling peaks
Untroubled brows to virgin skies afar
And DER the uncertain water gilmmers

OF 6tful cloud and star.
Sure, never day such mystic beauty held
As sylvan midnight here IN tins sur
Of toll, when the kind darkness gives US
peace
Garnered from years OF cid.
Lo! Hearken TO the mountain waterfall
Laughing adown it's pathway 10 the glen,
And nearer, in the cedars. the low call
OF brook TO brook again.
Voices that garish daytime may not know
Wander at will along the woody sleeps,
And silent, silver-footed moonlight creeps
Through the dim glades below.
Oh. IL is we'll to waken with the woods
And feel, as those who wait with God
alone.

Beating against our own.
Close shut behind us are the gates OF care,
Divinity enfolds us, prone TO bless,
And our souls kneel. Night in the wilder

Is one great prayer.
