TWILIGHT.
How many things are like this sad.
sweet hour.
When neither light nor darkness
rules the world
And nature lulls the slumber ev'ry
flower y,
Before nights dusly banners are
unfurled.
A solemn hour when all things bright
must die,
That made the world SO radiautiy
fair;
The suns pale crimson fades upon
the sky.
The breath OF night 10 In the per-
fumed air.
Perchance there's some desire In our
hearts
That. like this dying day. will
The light that hope TO everything
imparts,
And never blossom to reality.
Some secret love that never must be
told
Some hidden wish-some thought
OF ungained fame.
All sink on lies horizon. dark and
low,
Just like the snpset's dying evening
flame.
Whose lie Is there this twilight does
not mark.
Whose heart Is there that does not
hold with
Some poor, dead hope that once
burned like spark.
And struggled hard lis victory to
winy
SO struggled day against the coming
night
TIL. weary with the shadows on
her breast.
She Yields TO darkness all her treas
ures bright.
And slowly sinks. Just like our
hopes--to rest
