NIGHTFALL.
Sweep up, 0 wind of night, from out the eastward, Sweep down, 0 mist of night, as dies the day ; Sweep low between us and the mountain ranges, And hide the stars away. Hide all the hope of day, 0 night of shadows ; The morn's bright promise, and the noontide's light. Take all the outside world for your possession — 0 phantoms of the night. Within are lights you cannot hide or darken, Spirits of nightfall, wheresoe'er you roam ; The light of fires upon the homehearth burning, H«art-love within the home. Mary H. Poynteb.
