Excerpt from Agnes, the Indian Captive: A Poem, in Four Cantos, With Other Poems The mooned mosque, the palmy grove, Are shining in the silver ray 3? And all is bright, below, above, As in the blaze of day. With diamond hue, the fnaiden beam Glitters on J emna's pleasant stream; And lights the poplar leaves that shade The cool and arched colonnade. All still and silent is the air, Or only gentle sounds are there; The rush that bends its tufted head, To kiss the river's placid bed The water gurgling as it creeps, Where on its leaf the lily sleeps; The pine's low song-like whispers heard.
