SAND OF THE DESERT IN AN HOUR'GLAss
BY HENRY w. LoNGFELLow.

AND OF THE DESERT IN AN HOUR'GLASs
BY HENRY w. LoNGFELLow.
A hasdful of red sand, from the hot cline
OF Arab deserts brought,
Within this glass becomes the spy OF Time
The minister of Thought.
How many weary centuries has it been
About those desert. bl blown has seen
How many strange yiclssitudes mas seen'
How many histories known
pe,haps the camel of the Ishmaelite
Tramsled and passed it DER,
When INTO Egypt from the patnarch's sight
His fsvoite son they bore.
Perhaps the feet of Moses. burnt and bare,
Crushed it beneath their tread
Or Pharoahs flashing wheels into the ar
Scattered it as they sped:
Or Mary, with the Christ of Nazareth
Held close in her cares.
Whose pilgrimage OF h0pe and love anu Iath
Illumed the wilderness;
Or auchorites beneath Engaddi's palms
Pacing the Red Sea beach,
or Mecca's pilgrims, confident of Fate,
And resolute in heart
These have passed over it, or may have passed
Now in this crystal tower
Imprisoned by some curious hand at lest,
1t counts the uassing hour.
And as gaze. these narrow walls expand;
Before my dreamy eye
Stretches the desert with its shifting sand,
It's unimpeded sky.
And borne aloft by the sustaining blast,
This little golden thread
Dilates into column high and vast,
A form of fear and dread
And onward and across the setting sun,
Across the boundess PLAIN:
The column and its broader shadow run,
Till Thought punues in vain
The vision yanishes These walls again
Shut out the lurid sun,
Shnt out the hot, immeasureable plain:
The half-hOurs sand Is run
