'Ti. midnight -00 the mountain's breast,
Along the verdant lawn and glen,
The mellow moon-twams sweetly rest,
Like gems upon a diadem,
And the diamond drops of the dewy night
Are glistening lovely, purely, bright.
'Tim Midnight from its azure home,
The evening star shines meekly bright,'
Shedding its silvery radiance down
From the pure. lovely brow of night,
And beaming gladness on the rye
Of the gazer, with its brilliancy.
'Tie Midnight, and the silent earth
Ie robed in a deep and sombre hue,
And the gladsome sounds of joyous mirth
Are hush-d ; and noisy revelry,
Nor aught is heard rave the night bird's call,
The bounding brook and waterfall.
'Tis Midnight— and the zephyr's breath
Floats sweetly o'er the calm blue sea,
And gently fans the bending heath.
As it silently sweeps o'er the upland lea,
And sacred notes to the listening ear,
Seem floating on the balmy air.
'Ti, Midnight, on their fragile stem
The blushing rose arid vi let blue
Are gracefully bending, sweetly gemmed
With the pearly drops of the falling dew,
And on the gentle sephy 're wings
The lotus its sweet perfume flings.

Is now prvsented to the
This hesverissrs breathless soil serene,
And gems upon the courtly, Muir,
And the bright Emuress of the sky
Shines forthin cloudless majesty.

Beams on the foam tipped ocean we.*
And rock-bound cliff where billows play,
In echoes deep from sunlees eaves,
And gilds the ball of the eylven hosier,

Oh ! how shall I the tear forget
That from thy cheek I kis4erl •wsp I
We parted !—many a look I cut
To see thee lingering on the bill ;
Then tar from home and thee I plat,
Yet staid in spirit with thee still.

And though my locks are scattered now.

Has touched thy crimson cheat with ono* ;

And life with slower pulses move.
