Page 11 - James. What stays you, Walter ? Coch. 'Tis a fancied view Of a rich Eastern sunset ; o'er the plain Light falls like a thick veil of golden motes, And flings a glow, like a whole shower of roses, Over the side of the vast pyramid. No sight beside, no motion, and no sound ; Silence, the desert, and the solemn height Of the square mound ! Heaven's eye, the failing sun, Will soon be closed, and Darkness shall keep watch Over its slumbering sister, Solitude ! ACT II.
