H Poem for Coday
THE CITY IN THE SEA
By Edgar Allan Poe

That all seem penduIous in air While from proud tower in the
 town Death looks gigantically down There open fanes and gaping graves Yawn level with the luminous waves: Bat not the riches there that lie Tn each idols diamond eye Not the gayly- -jewe1ed dead, Tempt the waters from their bed; For no ripples curl alas, Along that wilderness of glass; No swellings tell that winds may be upon some far-ofx happier sea; No heavInSs hint that winds have
 been
 On seas less hideously serene! But To, a stir is in the air! The wave-there is a movement therel AS if the towers had thrust aside, Tn slightly sinking, the dull tide; As if their tops had feebly given. "A void within the fllmy Heavent The waves have now a redder glow, The hours are breathing faint and low; And when amid no earthly moans Down. down that town shall settle KS
 hence,
 Hell, rising from q thousand thrones, Shall do 1t reverence

 Far down within the dim West,
 Where the good and the bad and ti1s worst and the best Have gone to their eternal rest. Their glefnss and palaces and towers CriTna.eaten towers that tTsrnble not Resemble nothing that is ours. Around, by lifting winds forgot, R0siEnedIy beneath the sky The rnelanchoIy waters lie. No rays from the holy. heaven come

Which wish to remark
And my language is plain
That for ways that are dark
And for tricks that are vain,
The heather Chinee is peculiar.
Which the same I would rise to explain.
All Sin was his name;
And l shall not deny
In regard 70 the same
What that name might imply.
But his guile it was pensive and child
like.
As l frequent remarked 10 Bill Nye
1t was on August the third:
And quite soft were the skies;
Which it might be inferred
That All Sin was likewise.
Yet he played it that day upon William.
And me in way l despise.
Which We had small game,
And All Sin took a hand
1t was euchre. The game
He did ont understand:
But he smiled as he sat by the table.
With smile that was ehlldlike and
bland
Yet the cards they wei st cked,
IN a way that l grieve.
And my feelings were shocked
AT the state Of Nye's sleeve:
Which was stuffed full of aces and bowers.
And the same with inten' to deceive
But the hands that were played
BY that heather Chinee.
And the points that he made.
Were quite frightful 10 see.
Till at last he put down right bower
Which the same Nye had dealt unto NE.
Then 1 looked up at Nye,
And he gazed upon me.
And he rose with a sigh,
And said. Can this be?
We are ruined by Chinese cheap labor"
And he went for that heather Chinee.
In the scene that ensued,
did not take a hand.
But the floor it was st.swed
Like the leaves on the strand
With The cards that All Sin had been
hiding
In the game he did not understand"
In his sleeves which were long
He had twenty-four packs
Which was coming it strong.
Yet l state but the facts:
And we found on his nails, which were
taper,
What is frequent in tapers that's wax.
Which ] wish to remark.
And my language is plain,
That for ways that are dark
And for tricks that are vain.
The heather Chinee is peculiar.
Which the same | am free TO maintain.
