LANDSCAPE.
TWILIGHT.
GAUNT shadows stretch along the hill; Cold clouds drift slowly west; Soft flocks of vagrant snow-flakes fill The redwing's empty nest.

By sunken reefs the hoarse sea roars;Above the shelving sands, Like skeletons the sycamores Uplift their wasted hands.
The air is full of hints of grief, Strange voices touched with pain— The pathos of the falling leaf And rustling of the rain.
In yonder cottage shines a light, Far-gleaming like a gem— Not fairer to the Rabbins' sight Was star of Bethlehem!
