22 ...gUc mtiwr... 1909 (T Recollection As when a player, wearj of the day, Takes up his instrument, and plays along, First aimlessly, until upon some song Heard long ago, his fingers find their way, — The old tune bringing memories which lay Deep buried in the past, once glad and strong. He feels again those joys around him throng, And weeps erewhile to think they cannot stay, — So I, aweary with the passing hours. In musing, fell upon the name of one, Now dead and gone, who once was dear to me. And recollections sweet as summer showers Came back, swift as the first faint gleams that run At dawn across a great grey waste of sea. — William Bartlett Tyler. To Sleep Come, goddess, with thy half-closed, dreamy eyes, And suffer me to breathe the fragrance sweet From thy red poppy flowers, and loose the ties That bind in unseen fetters waA-worn feet. Upon thy face, flushed like a cloud ' s soft crest. Now let me gaze, that I may share in part Thy drowsiness, and sink to peaceful rest, Relieving all my weariness of heart. Hold low thy tender flowers above my lips, — Aye, crush them, gentle one, until the wine. Craved for the dreams of blissfulness it yields. Like fragrant rain upon me lightly drips, And so I lose the light of earth ' s dim line. And view fair images in shadowy fields. — William Bartlett Tyler .
