Sargent, Epes: The Awakening - ZaunköniG - 26.05.2007 The Awakening How changed the scene! our parting gaze, last night, Was on the three-hilled city’s swelling dome, - The dome, o’erlooking from its stately height Full many a sacred spire and happy home. Rose over all, clouding the azure air, A canopy of smoke, swart Labor’s sigh; While, like a forest Winter has stripped bare, Bristled the masts along the water’s line. But now, the unbroken ocean and the sky Seem to enclose us in a crystal sphere; A new creatoin fills the straining eye; No bark save ours, - no human trace is here! But in the brightening east, a crimson haze Floats up before the sun, his incense fresh of praise! |
