The soft winds sigh above the slumbering flowers, And tremble 'mid the tresses of the trees; A child's sharp cry disturbs the solemn hours, That woman's voice endeavors to appease; A dull piano's melancholy strains Fall faintly on my ear, borne from afar; A night-key's click the midnight hush profanes, And harshly clangs a door's discordant jar; A dog howls dismally across the way, Anon darts through the air a vengeful stone; And sounds of whispered voices hither stray, Revealing lovers' vows by their soft tone; Yon cat-calls cut discretion to the quick, — O, that kind fate would grant my hand a brick!
