And here face down beneath the sunA
And here upon earth's noonward heightB
To feel the always coming onC
The always rising of the nightB
-
To feel creep up the curving eastD
The earthy chill of dusk and slowE
Upon those under lands the vastF
And ever climbing shadow growE
-
And strange at Ecbatan the treesG
Take leaf by leaf the evening strangeH
The flooding dark about their kneesG
The mountains over Persia changeH
-
And now at Kermanshah the gateI
Dark empty and the withered grassJ
And through the twilight now the lateI
Few travelers in the westward passJ
-
And Baghdad darken and the bridgeK
Across the silent river goneL
And through Arabia the edgeM
Of evening widen and steal onC
-
And deepen on Palmyra's streetN
The wheel rut in the ruined stoneO
And Lebanon fade out and CreteN
High through the clouds and overblownO
-
And over Sicily the airP
Still flashing with the landward gullsQ
And loom and slowly disappearR
The sails above the shadowy hullsQ
-
And Spain go under the the shoreS
Of Africa the gilded sandT
And evening vanish and no moreS
The low pale light across that landT
-
Nor now the long light on the seaU
-
And here face downward in the sunA
To feel how swift how secretlyU
The shadow of the night comes onC
