WHIP-POOR-WILL.

ALEXANDER M‘LACHLAN.

There is a lonely spirit

Which wanders thro’ the wood,

And tells its mournful story

In every solitude;

It comes abroad at eventide

And hangs beside the rill,

And murmurs to the ear of night

“Whip-poor-will.”

Oh ’tis a hapless spirit

In likeness of a bird,

A grief that cannot utter

Another woeful word,

A soul that seeks for sympathy,

A woe that won’t be still,

A wandering sorrow murmuring

“Whip-poor-will.”

HAUNTS OF A DEMON.
