LIGHTS AND SHADOWS

By John J. Daly

In the golden haze of Summer,
 when the restless spirits stray To the blue and purple hllsides
 where the gypsy peoples stay, I can hear the tread of comrades
 from the distant mountain wall; But I lose the lure of meadows
 when the night begins to fall. When the Hghtning-bugs. af1icker,
 round the garden. by the gate, Flash their warning to the neighbors
 that the hour is growing late, I would rather not meander,
 If I had my way at all; For I'd sooner be with home-folks
 when the night begins to fall. When the blood of youth was coursing
 like a torrent, through my veins, And the flush of fever thrilled me,
 l was to break the rens; But, in calmer cooler moments
 now I'm quite inclined to stall If invited to the revels
 when the night begins to fall There's charm that steals upon me
 when the stars confluence to shine And I long for someone
 in the ev'ning, just at nine. Like the lovers with their lyrics
 who have captured Cupids Hall I am ready to surrender
 when the night begins to fall
