SONGS IN THE NIGHT.

By Marie D. Thorne

BY MARIE D. THORNE.
The martyrs had songs for prison, And songs for the rack of pain, A song for Roman arena, And the 'lion's gory mane,' A song for the desert island, A song for the mountain glen; And the songs that the fathers sung Still live in the lives of men.
There's a song for the lips of pain, For the burdened, storm-tossed soul, When over it resistless waves Like a mighty ocean roll; There is a song for the darksome valley, A song for the coffin lid, And the Christian sings because his life With the Christ in God is hid.
