1SONG OF THE "G" STRING.

3I.

5The East was tinged with lucent amethyst,

6Where slowly from the mist

7Emerged the moon, of erubescent hue,

8Threading the hazy side-lights of the sky,

9That change and glorify—

10Until it shone pure silver in pure blue.

12II.

14Beneath its all-impearling glow of light

15In stately curves of white,

16The solemn Nile flowed like a largo strain,

17And seemed as if from the great vault o'erhead

18A moonlit cloud had shed

19Its silver edge upon the darkling plain.
