Show AT NIGHT. ; The Argosy. , . At night when work is done, 'mid shadows gray that darken ' And cling about the window, where once the sun was bright, -.' Sweet sounds come back again, to which we used to barken, At night f. '. . , . At night, though we are old, and the gray shadows clinging Presage to us that shore where there is no more lights Sometimes there come again Bweet airs or childhood's singing, At night! " ' At night we two may sit in shadow, open-hearted; open-hearted; Lonjr since the time has passed when hope was all in sight! Softly we sing the songs of happy days departed, de-parted, .. At night ! At night the cricket's voice sounds through the shadows dreary;-Our dreary;-Our sours alas! like his, have neither charm . nor weight; We only rest and slug, hushed hopes and voices weary, At night ! |
