For tha kindling day,

Now all ii ihadow ! With tha night
No aingle shade
Can lutercept the aun'a grend flight
In glen or glado !
The lir tree itanda athwart tho iky,
A warning cloud,
And through it, aa the winda go by,
They whiiper loud.
No ahadow ii there from the oak,
Hut, 'ni'iith ita branch,
Whilu from ita midiit the owl may croak,
A ghoul might blanch.
A deeper ahade OAS here and then
Almoat tie felt,
Night 'a ahadow overmautles care
And heart will melt.
The atan may liugur in th arch
Of fartheit blue,
running their eternal march,
Tho worlda to view
At through the rounded agaa paat
They gleam in apace,
Ami 011 our oarth their glauce haa caat

The moon, betimea, tend iti oold my
A tilver gleam -Till

Hright golden atream.
Yet thii pale empraaa of tha night,
With strangest power,
Hall fear, half plaaaure and affright,

Moonlight, starlight, floating cloud
Or raging itorm
May bida them all wiUi anger loud
Wa fear no harm.

In aplaadid joy ;
Shadows ahall fall on atraam aud plain
A llh'a alloy ;

While life shall but,
Till In from all the bnf turmoil

Whan conn tha night that know, no waking,
And not till Uin, will day be breaking.
