The Singer.

    By James Whitcomb Riley



        While with Ambition's hectic flame
        He wastes the midnight oil,
        And dreams, high-throned on heights of fame,
            To rest him from his toil, -

        Death's Angel, like a vast eclipse,
            Above him spreads her wings,
        And fans the embers of his lips
            To ashes as he sings.
