THE DAY WAS DEAD.
Tho day whb dead, nnd tho flowers swayed
In tho blttorness of grlevlng:
And twlight camo with hor eyes of shade
As tho spirit fair was leaving.
Tho zophyrs crooned In a requiem
And the echoes low, replying, '
Sang softly sweet, as Is wont wllh thorn,
In tho music of their sighing. '
Tho night came slow, whllo the sobbing sea
Swept on In Us stately surges;
Tho undertono of a lullaby
Roso up from Its mollow dirges,
Tho night camo down to tho sleeping day
That scorned of Its noon-glow dreaming
With starry candles In rich array
Tho tomb of tho day was gleaming.
Tho day was dead and tho word wont forth
To tho farthest sllont spaces;
To tho stars that stand wost, south nnd north
And forever havo their places.
Tho word wont forth and tho word went on
Till It lost Its tono of sorrow
And It broko in light at tho gates of dawn
And awakened a tomorrow.
