"A REvERIE."
Tonight I'm sitting all alone
Within dinly lighted room,
Where sofs the pale, bright moonbeams fall
Without the evening sky is oheered
By flmy clouds of cob-Web hue.
Through which a thousand radiant eyes
Glance gayly; and DER all the earth
There lies silence,--deep, profound.
What wonder now that memory
Forgets the cold November night,
Forgets the cares of this long day,
Forgets the mornings coming toll,
And slips into the care-free past?
/ am joyous child again,
With all that youthful ignorance
OF sin, and strife. and stern ambitions power.
In dreams stroll through suulit ways
Long winding paths through woodland shades,
Where often, in my childhood hours
l wandered, with joy serene,
feel again the sweet, cool breath
That stirs the yellow autumn leaf
Above my head; hear the voice
OF laughing streamlet, and the sound
of wee birds flowing melody.
Among the faded hickory leaves
tiny, dark-eyed gray coat leaps,
Now gliding here, now de ing there,
TO pluck the ripened white shelled fruit.
All here at last catch glimpse
OF Autumn's blue eyed babe, the flower
That with its fair sister charms my heart.
Low nesting midst the whitening leaves
That fill the air with fragrance now.
l stoop and raise it,-crushed it is,-
By careless step of beast or man,
how like the soul that joyfully,
With guarding love and care caressed,
Begins It's Journey fearleSSly,
Only to be dashed down and crushed
By awful sorrow s ruthless hand!
And yet,-enough of this sad strain
How can brood on dismal thoughts
With this soft sunlight all around?
All! now beyond the leafy hills
The sender of these rays appears;-
The old October sun, with all
The clouds about him rosy in his light
Blow sweetly breeze, sob softly breeze,
Among the oak and cherry boughs
That gently stretch their weary limbs,
Warmed by this flood of mellow light
Rejoice rejoice thou brides Vice.
Sing to my heart thy glad refrain!
Rejoice, rejoice, sun, breeze, and birds,
For God is good, and all is Joy.
Behold the glowing sun is gone
And Shadows dark creep o er the land.
Now one by one the brides slip
Away, with grateful chirp, to rest. @
Now one by one the stars peep out
With eyes that sparkle at the flowers
Which nod their bright heads here and there.
And all the little valley sleeps in peace.
