118 " ANGUSTUM AMICE " . . 120 EGYPT AND OTHER POEMS EGYPT AGAINST the broad red sunset o'er the Nile, Across the desert, like a burnt-out pyre, The great Stone Pyramid looms, and o'er the pile Bright Venus orbs her star of silvery fire.
Touched with soft purple lies this ancient land, Where mighty Pharaohs reigned ; but now no more Their bannered armies march across the sand, Nor bartering navies sail from shore to shore, ii . *... >..... . " ! EGYPT Egypt, once mistress of the world's desire,... And earthly spouse of the One God confessed In many forms, the sunny-winged Sire In stately fane and statue oft expressed, Why dost thou hide thyself, Queen, and cower Beneath the desert rock, in tomb or cave ?
Is there reserved for thee no regal hour For evermore ? Still must thou be a slave ?
See where unwearied Nile leads down his flood From the primeval lakes, to soak the plain With tawny deluge, that like generous blood Quickens the lifeless waste to grass and grain.
EGYPT 13 The god-like river his accustomed task Eternally fulfils ; and that great Sun, The symbol of the Father, does not mask His power and pomp, because thy course is run : Old Nile remains, but thou remainest not, For thou art past and perished, buried, lost ; And, like thy mummies, all thy doings rot, And all thy thoughts to all the winds are tost.
