Wi' souls of the dearest ye're mingling then;

The gowd light o' mornin' is lightless to thee,

But, oh! for the night wi' its ghost revelrie.

William Thom.

35. Come, stir the fire, and close the shutters fast;

Let fall the curtains, wheel the sofa round;

And while the bubbling and loud hissing urn

Throws up a steamy column, and the cups

That cheer but not inebriate, wait on each,

So will you welcome cheerful evening in.
