EVENING SONG.
Look off, dear love- across the sallow sands,
And mark yon meeting of the sun and sea-
How long they kiss in sight of all the lands:
All! longer, longer, we.
Now in the seas red vintage melts the sun,
AS Egypt's pearl dissolved in rosy wine,
And Cleopatra night drinks all. 'Tis DONE
Love, lay thine hand in mine.
Come forth, sweet stars, and comfort heavens
heart:
Glimmer, We waves, round else unlighted sands.
. night divorce our sun and sky apart
Never our lips, our hands.

books generally.

food, and at night the cap fans the fire,
makes good drinking bowl, and an ex-
cellent substitute for tureen.
