THE DAY WAS LINGERING
The day was lingering in the pale northwest, And night was hanging o'er my head,— Night where a myriad stars were spread; While down in the east, where the light was least, Seem'd the home of the quiet dead.5 And, as I gazed on the field sublime, To watch the bright, pulsating stars, Adown the deep where the angels sleep Came drawn the golden chime Of those great spheres that sound the years10 For the horologe of time. Millenniums numberless they told, Millenniums a million-fold From the ancient hour of prime.
