1.1T.f.E B. MAHHHAI.T----1 Republished From the Christian (standard; Cincinnati.) . ;; Falling, softly falling, the dew upon the rose; Waving, wildly waving, the leaves in fltfni throes; And the strong sweet winds of early night Sing baby to repose. Oh, windaof night, sing low, sing low, As babe to Bye-low goes. Calling, softly calling, the night bird to its ~ mate; Drowsily, so drowsily, for late, it is ho late; And swaying branches cradle them Where Dreamland's pictures wait. (A, birds of song, how sweet,how sweet A dreamer’s happy state. Stealing, lightly stealing, as lily petals glide; Closing, slowly closing, their golden hearts inside; Soft shadows fringed o’er starry ayes Their merry mischief hide. Oh, sweet, sweet eyes, 'neath fairy lids In sleep abide, abide. Rensskiuabu, Ind.
