'Tib midnight, and the hills are softly sleeping 
’Neath the dim shadows of the whispering groves, 
And the sweet sky its fondest tears is weeping 
Upon the bosom of the earth it loves; 
The lisping zephyrs their low hymns are breathing, 
The blue-necked dove moans fondly o'er her nest, 
The clouds their mystic forms are slowly wreathing 
Till the frail curtain shades the glowing west. 
The watchful stars stand on their sentinel duty, 
And queenly Luna treads the ether way, 
The glassy lake reflect her silver beauty, 
And in her track bright constellations play. 
How long have those deep far-off lights been blazing 
Above the earth, so full of sin and gloom ? 
How long have those mild, glorious eyes been gazing 
Calmly upon the birth-couch, bridal, tomb ? 
Methinks upon such still yet soundfull evenings 
A tender love-light trembles in each one 
That oft has stilled my restless spirit’s grievings, 
And helped me oft to say—“ Thy will be done.” 
How memory revels in this starlit season, 
With what delight love’s treasures he recounts, 
And vagrant fancy bids adieu to reason, 
And hope transported high, yet higher mounts. 
But, 0 ! to Thee, Father, belongs this hour, 
Answer in two weeks. 
Send up an incense through the holy night. 
Recall my wayward heart from sinful wanderings, 
From earthly hopes, loves, joys, and idle dreams, 
And fix on Thee my soul’s devoutest ponderiDgs,
