CURFEW.

[ocr errors][merged small]

Cover the embers,

And put out the light;

Toil comes with the morning,

And rest with the night.

Dark grow the windows, And quenched is the fire;

Sound fades into silence,

All footsteps retire.

No voice in the chambers,

No sound in the hall !

Sleep and oblivion

Reign over all!
