Excerpt from Selections From the Poetical Writings of the Late John S. Moore, of the District of Columbia Solemn amidst the sands of the old Nile Stands the far-famed Sphynx, with undiverted eye, Still gazing, patiently and mournfully, O'er the Egyptian wilderness. No smile Illumes her battered Visage, but a look Of godlike melancholy, not despair, Which the forgotten sculptor chiseled there, Makes her majestic. Her creator took A deep glance in the future when he traced Such noble grief. His eye pierced coming times, Read the vicissitudes of wars and crimes, Beheld great cities dwindled to a 'waste, And Egypt crushed, in turn, with many a foe Therefore he made the Sphynx a grief for all that woe.
