PILATE'S WIFE'S DREAM.

       Table of Contents

      I've quench'd my lamp, I struck it in that start

       Which every limb convulsed, I heard it fall—

       The crash blent with my sleep, I saw depart

       Its light, even as I woke, on yonder wall;

       Over against my bed, there shone a gleam

       Strange, faint, and mingling also with my dream.

       It sank, and I am wrapt in utter gloom;

       How far is night advanced, and when will day

       Retinge the dusk and livid air with bloom,

       And fill this void with warm, creative ray?

       Would I could sleep again till, clear and red,

       Morning shall on the mountain-tops be spread!
