% Shadov s cf the Past It was dusk in ancient Egypt, land of the mystic past. The sun 7as slowly sinking, casting grotesque shadows o’er the western sky. Shedding rays of many hues on the landscape far and wide. A shadow fell on the vaulted porch where the ruling Pharaoh lay, dressed In the rich raiment of the East, subject to neither man nor beast, But free to love or hate alike. The fan bearers stir the sultry air, as the mournfully sweet notes Of the piper's flute cast their cadence on the laden breeze. But now the scene has nearly past; the flutists cease; The last rays linger on the summit of each pyramid tomb - Then all is gone.
