STANZAS
SUGGESTED BY GLIDDON'S LECTURES ON THE ANTIQUITIES OF EGYPT.
MISS H. J. WOODMAN
Sublime hath been thy conquest o’er the past,
Stemming Oblivion’s torrent by thy might,
Reading symbolic records long o’ercast
By the deep shadows of unbroken night;
Tracing with reverent finger names of kings
That long had slumbered with forgotten things.
