Now to his palace in the West
The King of Day returns to rest,


Not as when first he rose to slight,
Soaring through the fields of space,
lGladdening all things with the light
Of his ever beaming face;
For when, too bright for mortal eyes,
His noon-tide splendor filled the exuting


skies
Around his car of glittering sheen
No more the glittering hours are seen;
Of all that faithless, feeting train,
True to their Sovereign none remain.
High seated on his fiery throne,
He rides, triumphant, but alone,


Meantime the gorgeous car of state
Through heavens wide champaign slopes It's
~. downward fight;
Now sinks behind yon towering steep,
Now skirts the margin of the deep,


And now before the Western gate
Stands one broad blaze Of light.
Touched by some all-powerful hand
Slowly the golden gates expand


While echoing from the inmost hail.
Where, duly ranged in order, stand,
Rank above rank, the minstrel band,
A thousand pealing voices raise
The song Of welcome, Joy, and praise,


To Him whose greatness fears no fall,
Who, by his own exhaustless might,
Upholds the planets in their flight,


Yet looks with equal eye on all,
Scattering, with impartial hand,
Blessings o'er many smiling land.
Nor ceased the harmonious strain, until
Sleep closed the Monarch's eyes, and all was


still. a...ggi
While round his royal couch Of state
The courtier Stars III silence wait,
Meek Twilight, in her robe Of gray,
To the lone mountain bent her way
But musing onward kept her eye
Still fixed upon the Western sky,
And as she viewed the changing scene,
Oft on her slender staff would lean,
With many heightened pause and lingering


step between. ,a.
On lake and forest, hamlet, hut, and tower.
Evening descends, like dew upon the flower.
Last rose majestic Night, and over all
Flung the dim foldings OF her shadowy pail
