Show OAWN ANO DUSK. Apollo's shaft of radiant flame, Stat tarU against t'ae Bra's blu shield On myraki ripples dance and pleam, Gold stars strewn o'er an azure flsld. Upon the sliininjr sands they stand In mora of day mid morn of life, ' T-th-r staml, hand clasp-d in hand, A bridegroom fond, a happy wife. Tlie moon, a silver scimitar, Severs the driving rack of cloud. Far, far Iwyond the harbor bar Tho surges moan, now low, now loud. Alone upon the darksome strand. The block wave lapping at her feet, A widow stands; vanished the hand, Silent the voice that mado life sweet. ilary J. Safford in lielford's Maguzina |
