JUNE NIGHT.
Oh night of June! with star SONVIL
sky
With dews of Heaven and breath of
balm
Thy tread,like ancient goddess shy (a)
Lends earth her wreaths and seas their
calm.
Or, like the still, deep peace divine
The benediction sweet of prayer,
Thy presence soothes this heart of
rause
And steals away the ache of care.
In dreamy coye mid 'brosia sweet
Where shadows flit and moonlight
gleams,
On sleepy lake where wavelets meet
Thy glances soft weave fondest
dreams.
Oh night of June! thy whispers low,
Thy lips so warm, thy love so pure,
Lends life its songs and brightest
glow
And make our vow and promise sure.
