Written for the Astorian.) TIs sunset, and the broad, grey river sweeps Like molten silver 'gainst the low green shore, Which softly upwards into purple steeps, Surmounted by the fiery sunset gore. Where the glad radiance of the golden gleam, Above the purple foothills, Alls the sky, Hand snow-capped peaks, now mir rored In the stream. Like sentinels, whom time and age . defy. The air is hushed, in stillness night creeps on, The soul subdued to reverie, no song. Save soft murmuring, as the stream sweeps on, Where man, rejoicing, stands from out the throng. The darkness deepens', over all 1s cast Night's mantle, where tne stream now laves the bank, Darkens, then up, up, the sweeping shore it passed, Until at last, day o'er the hilltops sank.
