POETRY
WHEN THE NIGHT COMES DOWN. When the night comes down Over field and town,' And hides all the flowers and meadow To the far-off gardens of Paradise, The mistletoe boughs in the Btarry mazes, The daisy borders, white and dense, And the nebulous meadows of innocence ; To the radiant spots Of forget-me-nots, The Jasmine Harp; and twinkling down, The anemones in the Northern Crown; To the tiger-lily that nods and glows
In the cresent bed of the larger liion,; I turn my eyes to the blossoming skies, The stare of Bethlehem and Sharon's rose And the great white river that heavenward goes, And waters each plant and flower, then flows Bight on to the beautiful city of Zion; And my heart is so filled with the wondrous view. That it overflows in reverent praises. And mourns no more for the violets blue, For the roses sweet and the meadow daisies. —•British Weekly.'
