Old Ages Lambent Peaks

  The touch of flame--the illuminating fire--the loftiest look at last,
  Oer city, passion, sea--oer prairie, mountain, wood--the earth itself,
  The airy, different, changing hues of all, in failing twilight,
  Objects and groups, bearings, faces, reminiscences;
  The calmer sight--the golden setting, clear and broad:
  So much i the atmosphere, the points of view, the situations whence
      we scan,
  Brot out by them alone--so much (perhaps the best) unreckd before;
  The lights indeed from them--old ages lambent peaks.
