The botanic garden, a poem | ||
IV.
“Sailing in air, when dark Monsoon inshroudsHis tropic mountains in a night of clouds;
145
And showers o'er Afric all his thousand urns;
High o'er his head the beams of Sirius glow,
And, Dog of Nile, Anubis barks below.
Nymphs! you from cliff to cliff attendant guide
In headlong cataracts the impetuous tide;
146
The bright expanse to Egypt's shower-less lands.
—Her long canals the sacred waters fill,
And edge with silver every peopled hill;
147
And Memnon bending o'er his broken lyre;
O'er furrow'd glebes and green savannas sweep,
And towns and temples laugh amid the deep.
