VERSES OLD AND NEW.
EASTERN .NIGHT. The world lies silent under the stars, No echo comes from the luishcd bazaars, Only a .wind stirs faint and freo Through the velvet. palms by a nioon- • washed sea. The world lies silent/under tha stars,'Veniis and vose-fjushed Mars, ■And the littlo waves shiver, and tremble, and beat, ' tike a tiny pulse on the sands at my feet.
Then through the night the sound of a -.:; flute, Sweeter than viol or harp or lute, Murmurs its secrets to tho stars Out of the hush of the dim bazaars.
—Isabel Clarke', in the "Westminster Gazette"
