In early years quick, startled thoughts arise At every rustling noise which Nature makes. As on her sleepless guard she walks her rounds. The sun, in triumph journeying from the east. The captive Queen of Night, secured by chains, THE DECK OF THE CEBSCBNT CITY. 47 Downcast and pacing with slow feet afar Behind his flaming chariot, the band Of subject warriors following her- sad steps, Attired in twinkling robes, hold fast the sight Of childhood, wondering whence the bright ones came. The changi...ng vesture of the advancing hours. From the soft, rosy richness of the mom, To the proud, jewelled splendor of the noon. Then to the gold brocade of sunset time. To twilight's robes of matron comeliness, To night's dark velvet, with its glistening pearls. The brilliant singing-birds, perfumes of flowers. The flying insects, the white, falling snow, The bubbling drops of rain, the jagged lines Of lightning, the besieging thunder's crash Against the sky's dark fortresses, excite Mysterious questions which the child solves not.
