Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Cry of Vashti and Other Verses The Cry of Vashti The mellow light gleamed over Shushan´s hall, Where sat Ahasuerus and his friends Who banqueted in state, surpassing all That ever heretofore had served his ends. The music 〉 the wine flowed fast and free; The Eastern perfumes filled the heavy air; The dancers, with unwonted liberty, Sought favor of the monarch debonair. With harps and cymbals flowing robes kept time, While white feet shone like snow on Hermon´s hill. The King looked gayly at the merry mime, And bade them still continue, at his will. The hours flew on, while yet they danced and sang. At last, the King grew weary of the scene; And as the merry shouts and laughter rang, He rose, and sent a message to the Queen, To come, - at once, - and show th´ attending throng Her own great beauty, far transcending aught That any dancing girl, or child of song Could show, however fair, or ably taught.
