The midday sun in this deep s0rge Resigns his oldtime splendor, His palace walls of dreamy gold The rose hues warm and tender.
 The cleft is dark below Where leaning flows the sOmbre river, The wild winds sigh and blossoms shiver, And violet mists ascending
 Obscure the Orient glow. On massive cliff- walls Natures hand Has turned times sun worn page% In faces carved and figures hewn We trace the work 0f ares.
 The gold tipped spires sublime. That pierce the sky-tike shafts of hghl Hut mark the maasureless heavenward height
 Whose stern hish priest is Time
