AT MIDNIGHT.
A screech-owl's plaintive whine
Creeps trembling on the air:
The spangled heavens shine
With gems beyond compare.
The breeze has ceased to sing:
Sweet Sleep has waved her hand
Ger plowman, peer and king:
Nights mantle wraps the land.
-Tis that wan hour when Night
Beckons to timid Morn:
Before the stars take flight:
Or wakes a day newborn
And most fervent pray
That earth-drones such as L
Who squandered yesterday,
This day may profit by!
