ONLY A DREAK--AN ALLEGORY.
BY LEO NO. 1.
I sought myoeanch on a dreary night,
My aoal was oppressed with the toill of the day;
The fire n the grate shone brilliant and bright,
And the cinder, all shrunken on the hearthstone
lay.
And soon I was lost In slumber deep,
Slumber profound and supreme;
And yet In the hours of forgetfulness creep
The shadows and forms of a dream.
And I dreamed I was off in a distant clime
Where the ivy and oak never grow;
Where the sun never sets, but continues to shine
With a radiant and resplendent glow.
Yet all around seemed lorn and drear,
And the winds passed by with a moan;
And there rose from my heart a sad, bitter tear,
For the landeo bleak and lone.
And it seemed that I heard from a neighboring bush
A sigh, a groan or a wal
But then it might be the cry of a thrush,
As it litted adows the vale.
