A HAPPY SLEEP.

By Mrs. M. F. Butts

BY MRS. M. F. BUTTS.

As on some day that seemeth long, Night comes with blessed sense Of finished work, of quieted care, Of dreamy indolence, When darkness like a curtain's fold Shuts us in peace away, And with a thought of heaven we fall Asleep till dawn of day,

So that still night that we call death Will fold us sweetly in From the long years of weariness, Of sorrow, and of sin, Will hold us in a blessed sleep No earthly woe can wake, Till the new dawn shall touch our lids And bid the silence break.
