. Oracle, The. Thy stately walls which rise and gleam In sunsets gold,In the quiet evening seem A charm to hold;And, as the sunset slowly fades,A vivid play of changing shadesIn one great swoop, bends from the sky To kiss thy speeding moon, afloat on high Oer moonlit bower,Transforms the fading flush of dayInto a mellow silver gray,While, oer the town the soft mists lay Still as the hour. C. W.
