DAY.
Linger, or Sun, for a little, nor close yet this day of a million! Is there not glory enough in the rosecurtained halls of the west? Hast thou no joy in the passion-lvued folds of thy kingly tmvilion ? Why shouidst thou only pass through it? Oh rest thee a little while, rest I Why should the night come and take it, the wan night, that cannot enjoy it. Bringing palo argent for golden, and changing yennilion to grey? Why should the night come and shadow it, entering hut to destroy it? Beat 'mid thv. ruby-trailed’ splendourl Oh stay thee a little while, stay! Best, thee at least a brief hour in itl ’Tis a nght royal pavilion. Lo there are thrones for high dalliance all . gloriously canopied o’er! Lo, there areh ang-ings of purple, and haug--111 fp of blue and vermilion, And there are fleeces of gold for thy feet on iho diapered floor! . . . —James Bruntou Stephens.
