In silent grandeur by the Nile, For age on age the watch you’ve kept; And empires rose and waxed the while, And then in History’s folds have crept. The creeping centuries that saw The birth of Greece, and Rome’s decay, Were but as beads you counted, slow And solemn, at the close of day. You saw the cedars tall that grew On Leb’non’s slopes, and there were felled And Moses marvelled what you knew, The while in Pharoah’s land he dwelled. You saw the son of Joseph named, And Mary’s eyes with weeping wet; You saw a shudd’ring world when flamed The scimiter of Mahomet! I will not ask you, then to tell The story of your vigil long; The secret that you guard so well Shall never burden earthly song. But when Life’s fires have ceased to glow, If Vergil’s shade I chance to meet; Or Dante’s spirit, whispering low, Shall lead me to Osiris’ seat, Perchance I’ll keep the watch awhile, With you, beside the River Nile. —John Henry Steulvvillc.
