Poetry.
WILT THOU BE LONG ? Wilt thou 8b long ? The wor'nf ul day is o'er; , The wind croons.softly to the sleeping sea; At the old the lonely shore, I wait for thee. Home to his aes?-the* swift gray gull is winging; Through tha still dusk I hear the sailor's song: Night to the weary rest from toil is bringing— Wilt thou he long?
Wilt thou bo long ? The darkness gathers fast; , , The daisies fold their fringes on tho lea; Time is so fleeting, and youth will not lastOn, come to me! In the clear west a silver star is burning, But sad misgivings all my bosom throng ; With anxious hoart I watch for thy returning— Wilt thou be long? E. Mathesok.
