At Night.
. -»—.— At night, when work is iioue, 'mii shadows stgv that darken And cling about ili* viudow, where onco the sun waß brigoi, Sweet eonnds come back again, to whioh we used to hearken. At night!' At night, though we are old, and the grey shadows clinging Presage to us that shore where there is no mora light, Sometimes there come again sweet airs of childhood s Binging, At night! At night we two may eic in shadow, openheatted; Long since the time hai passed vhen hope was. all in sight! Softly we sing the songa of happy days denarted, A» night! At night th.o cricket's voice sounds through the shadovs dreary; Ouc alas ! like his, have neither chains nor weight; We only rest and siog hushed hopes and voices* weary, At night i —'The Argosy.'
