evergreen cactus the ringdove sits swaying, With hoe dropped beside them, ’midst canebrakes are kneeling
V-z Her nestward flight checking till vespers are o’er; The poor devotee and his Indian bride;
’Neath cinnabar image, now chanting, now praying, And miners their burdens, as upward conies pealing
The throng passes quickly through San Rosa’s door. The summons for vesper, fling quickly aside.
What tremulous joy fills the ancient rotunda, The swift arriere, his mail horn uplifting,
As the clear convent bell strikes peal upon peal! The glacier-crowned Andes to wake with the blast,
And the awe-stricken tourist stands gazing in wonder, Hears the chime of the evening on fleecy clouds drifting,
While slaves, silver-laden, with reverence kneel. And waits till the last faintest echo has passed.
I'he call of the partridge is hushed in the barley; The restless Inaja, that torrent-fed river,
The humming bird settles upon the first spray; Subdues its wild rushing a moment to hear
The peach-dealing Creole no longer will parley; The soft, whispered cadence that breathes of our Saviour,
She bows by her basket to silently pray. There nightly repeated, yet evermore dear.
No more by the roadside her chica drink selling, Where’er the last rays of the sunset may linger—
The fair Guayaquil tempts all with her eye; O’er valley or table-land glimmering far,
Those white fingers now are her rosary telling; On mountain peak pointing its golden-tipped finger,
She hears the rich chimes of the vespers float by. Where gloweth night’s censer, the bright evening star
The mellow sound rises, its music prevailing,
And circles round pyramids evermore white,
To soften the voice of the lone pine bewailing,
And die in the arms of the slow-fading light. George Bancroft Griffith.
