5112 Matthew A mist has fogged the air All the day: Dark and drear the world has grown Everywhere; In the gleaming street, Wet and gray, Shadows lengthen on and on Till they meet. Nearer like a doom Draws the night, Sure and silent, lurking slow, Full of gloom. Watchers oIer the dead, Till the light Pace like spectres to and fro Round his bed. On his quiet sleep, Just begun, Gaze his friends who loved and knew; Then they weep. All that death eIer could, Death has done; What is left we strive to do As he would. Watchers through the night, In our love, Doubt and weep because he tell In his might, Sleeping where he trod, Where he strove; Is he watchingewho can telle With his God? ELIZABETH MUNGER.
