The golden gates of morn are wide;
On every blade the dews are bright;
The azure veil is drawn to hide
The awful glories of the night;
The roses each to each have told,
Another sun will soun be seen;
And shall not I my light behold?
Make day for me—vome forth, my Queen,
The tale the river told all night
Has taken now a gladder strain;
The flowers, as eager for thy mght,
With odors seek thy window-pane;
The jasmine tells thee Light has come,
And waves across the lattice-screen;
And shall thy voice be longer dumb?
Make music for my heart, my Queen.
In shade as yet, the eastern hill
Btands sharp against the vellow sky,
The purple woods are sleeping still,
And white mists in the village le;
But westward slopes are all awake
With change and play of softer green;

What wages did you ask?

were they.

Miss Comfort. 1 don't fairly believe

While the thought was passing

on its silver-plated hinges, and a tall

Miss Comfort rose and dropped a stiff
