SUNSET. - ZaunköniG - 20.12.2012 With what effulgent majesty descends Yon orb th' ethereal as circling rolls Each crimson cloud like glory-seeking souls, And heighten'd beauty to his splendour lends ! Emblem of the departing e'er he wends That unknown path which countless thousands tread, By Heav'n-taught faith chases each gath'ring doubt And radiates the murky clouds of dread, While mourning friends who weeping stand about His couch of death, the tears of sorrow shed Enlighten'd are as life's lamp burnetii out. Destiny, when the parting hour arrives, May trust in all that has sublimely said Yet evidence around great hope unwitheing lives. |
