A SERENADE.

After a day of labor
! had sunk into dreamless sleep,
And my spirit was drinking refreshmeni
In copious drafts and deep.
But anon my slumbers were broken
BY music that was no, of dreams.
Though il seemed TO blend with the
moonlight
In soothing, slumbrous streams.
The voices were those OF children,
Unframed in the schools OF art,
But swelling like notes OF woodwarblers,
Spontaneous from music-full hearts.
They sang of our glorious country
And the siar-spangled tiag OF the free,
OF moonlight, of music, OF flowers,
And OF loves deep mystery.
But the last song was the sweetest
The song OF "Home, Sweet Home,
For IL carried me back TO my childhood,
Before had learned TO roam.
And then for little season
was a child again,
And drank from the glorious fountain
OF pleasure unmixed with pain.
er slumber again CENTRALIZED me.
My latest thought was a prayer
Tha, God would bless the dear children,
For bringing surcease OF care.
Among the choicest blessings
That God in mercy hath gwen,
Is the love of pure-hear,ed children,
''For OF such is the kingdom of heaven.
