A Return To Egypt
There is a land where Time no count can keep,
Where works of men imperishable seem;
Where through death's barren solitude doth gleam
Undying hope for them that sow and reap:
Yea, land of life where death is but a deep
Warm slumber, a communicable dream,
Where from the silent grave far voices stream
Of those who tell their secrets in their sleep.
Land of the palm-tree and the pyramid,
Land of sweet waters from a mystic urn,
Land of sure rest where suns shine on for ever,
I left thee - in thy sands a heart was hid,
My life, my love, were cast upon thy river.
And, lo! I to seek Osiris I return.
H. D. R.
