TO NIGHT PEllCY BYSSHE SHELLEY. ^^^VIFTLY walk over tho wostcrn wave, |j^ S[.irit of Night! lilt of tho misty ca-stern all the long and lone daylight,Tlion weavest dreams of joy and fear,Which mako theo terriblo and dear,—Swift bfl thy flight 1 J Wrap thy form in a mantle gray, Star-inwrought!Blind with thy hair tho eyes of day,Kiss her until she 1)0 wearied out,Tlion wander o<!r city, and sea, luid ,Touching all witli thiiin opiate wand — Como, long-sought!. >!-- SNOW-FLAK EB. 243 When I arose and saw the dawn, I sighed for thee!When light rode high, and the dew was gone,And noon lay heavy on floor and tree,And the weary Day turned to his , like an unloved guest, I sighed for thee! Thy brother Death came, and cried, Wouldst thou me ?Thy sweet child Sleep, the filmy-eyed,Murmured like a noontide bee, Shall I nestle near thy side ?Wouldst thou me ?—and I replied,No, not thee! Death will come when thou art dead. Soon, too soon,—Sleep will come when thou art fled;Of neither would I ask the boonI ask of thee, beloved Night—Swift be thine approaching flight, Come soon, soon! BURIED TO-DAY.
