SHEET-LIGHTNING, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: A glance of love or jealousy
Last Line: A step without a sound.
Alternate Author Name(s): Father Tabb
Subject(s): Night; Bedtime


A glance of love or jealousy,
It flashes to and fro,
A swift sultanic majesty,
Through Night's seraglio;

Where many a starry favorite
In reverence profound
Awaits with palpitating light
A step without a sound.
