Monday Evening

Now Earth has put on its shade wraps round its bosom its evening robe
And Silence its sceptre extends;
And now while curtains of darkness veil envelope the globe
My spirit is The they My song soul to its maker maker ascend.
Thou unseen Invisible spirit! wherever I go
Wherever I stay Thou Art mighty near
Should I dive to the depths of the ocean below
Or soar to the verge of the sky My Lastest heights uttermost sphere
Like autumn leaves in the breeze that fall the dry Autumn streamlet
My moments are hurried by Thou has measured to each his portion below And directed his hopes to the sky
On the tide currents of time which rushes with all
To the sea of eternity. And thy smile is as bright in the shadows of war As in the gay sunshine of joy
Of all the fair treasures that heaven nature has given
The greatest, – the most noblest is time
For time is the treasure that purchases heaven
And wafts to its seats mansions sublime
But all life's promise its promise too oft is but treachery
Tho' the brightest colors it have;
And its ways, how various so ever they be –
They lead but only conduct to – the grave.
