INVOCATION, by                    
First Line: The ear of day is strained and weak
Last Line: A welcome; live!
Alternate Author Name(s): Le Bailly, Mrs.
Subject(s): Night; Bedtime


THE ear of day is strained and weak,
And careless of its own content.
Night makes a silence for thee;—speak!
And Love's alone on earth;—relent!

The eyes of Day for thee decline
A moment of their watch to give.
Night makes a darkness for thee; shine!—
A welcome; live!
