The Nile like flowing fire between,
Where Rameses stares forth serene,
And Ammon's heavy temple stands.

Set free the maiden white like snow.

Since you have leaned to catch my hands
And lay a kiss upon my mouth. — Sara Teasdale

In the evening, I walked alone down to the Lake by the side of Crow Park after sunset and saw the solemn coloring of night draw on, the last gleam of sunshine fading away on the hilltops, the seep serene of the asters, and the long shadows of the mountains thrown across them, till they nearly touched the hithermost shore.
