"A sweet good-night," they say.

Oh, cricket, hush your merry song;

How can you be so gay?

Ye roses bow your crimson heads,

And mourn my vanished day.

AN OLD-FASHIONED GARDEN.

How oft from the din of the hard city street,

The show and the splendor, in fancy, my feet

Stray backward through paths that are dripping with dew,
