MIDNIGHT MUSINGS.
The moonbeams' pure brightness
Has entered my room,
Thus shedding some lightness
Where late all was gloom.
Yet it leaves much uncertain
Which Day would make clear,
For the Night's darksome curtain
Still lies dim and drear.
Has entered my room,
Thus shedding some lightness
Where late all was gloom.
Yet it leaves much uncertain
Which Day would make clear,
For the Night's darksome curtain
Still lies dim and drear.
So, methinks, as in sadness
I restlessly toss,
'Tis with dreams of past gladness
Our spirits that cross:—
Though oftentimes cheering
Our souls by their light,
We by their appearing
Perceive our deep night.
I restlessly toss,
'Tis with dreams of past gladness
Our spirits that cross:—
Though oftentimes cheering
Our souls by their light,
We by their appearing
Perceive our deep night.
