THE TWILIGHT HOUR.
" I'is now the balmy evening hour
The swcrtcM of our summer eves:
The summer sun has lost its power
Amid the western forest leaves.
And weary man has sunk to rest.
His d ty's toil o'er; and visions blest
Springing lVm fancy's roseate bed,
Price lightly round his pillowed head.
How beauteous now the western skies,
Their erimson robes unfurlt d,
Thai seem to veil Imm mortal eyes
The vistas to a brighter world.
AmI a tbe tinted lustie fade-,
Am. I ll.ek'rrng light gives plapr to shades
The hour brings rest to thoughts'oi earth,
And gives the loftier, holier, birth.
Tins is the hour when angels rye,
With softened smile, pure earthly love;
And hail with j y each h ilfbteathed sigh,
The z phyrs waft to realms above;
And be.ii them with the wing of thought,
To altars in the diamond wrought,
Fnvo wh cli they rise an incense dear
To Hint whitlows his creatures here.
The mother views Iter lovely child,
I'atig'.ed with all Ins sports of day,
Sink in slumbers calm ami mild.
Hut turns not from hi couch away.
Sir. gazes on his faint sweet smile,
H ,-ii'mi n curls, ami polihd brow,
A."i pravs. ;o thought of ear thly guile
IU n fide those cheeks, v roseate now.
AY ere now is proud ambition's frown?
Where the flame of angered breast?
13 e fore the fv auleous evening flown,
They've left the troubled mind to re!.
Ob. when mv day of life is o'er,
And passion's fin: is felt no more,
May I behold this hallowed scene,
In my own heart pass Yr again.
STANZAS.
My days among the dead are past;
Around me I behold
Where'er these casual eves are cast,
The mighty minds of old
IWy never tailing friends are they,
Willi whom 1 converse day by day.
With them I take delight in weal,
And seek relief in woe;
And while I understand and feel
How much to them 1 owe,
My cheeks have often been bedew'd
With tears of thoughtful gratitude.
My thoughts are with the dead, with them
I live in long past year;
Their virtues love, their faults condemn,
Partake their hopes and fears;
And from their lessons seek and find
Instruction with a humble mind.
My hopes are with the dead; anon
My place with them will be.
And with them I shall travel on
Through all futurity;
Ye' leaving here a name, I trust
That will not perish in the. dust.
