NIGHTFALL. ALONE I stand; On either hand

In gathering gloom stretch sex and land;

Beneath my feet,

With conseless beat,

The waters murmur low and sweet.

Now fast, now slow,

The south winds blow, And softly whisper, breathing low;

With gentle grade

They kies my face.

Or fold me in their cool embrace.

Where one pale star, O'er waters far,

Droops down to touch the harbour bar,

A faint light gleamis, A light that seems

To grow and grow till Nature teema

With mallow haza And to my gaze

Comes proudly rising, with its rays

No longer dim, The moon; its rim

In splendour gilde the billowy brim.

I watch it gain

The heavenly plain;

Behind it trails a story train,-

While low and sweet The wavelets beat

Their murmuring music at my fest.

'Tis sacred ground; A peace profound Comes o'er my soul. I hear no sound

Save at my feet

The ceaseless best Of waters marmuring low and sweet.
