Won't you help support DayPoems? PostumBy John Hay10/8/1838-7/1/1905Two thousand years these temples have been old. Yet were they not more lovely the first day, When o'er yon hills the young light blushed and lay Along the tapering columns, and eve's gold Over the Tyrrhene sea in glory rolled. By power of truth, by beauty's royal sway, While men, and creeds, and kingdoms pass away, Their gift to charm and awe they calmly hold. Beauty and truth! by that high grace divine They force the tribute of the vassal years; Clouds gloom, the blue wave dimples, the stars shine To make them fairer; even Time that tears And shames all other things, here can but bless And beautify this crumbling loveliness.
