RIVER OF SEVILLE by AL-KUTANDI

First Line: SHINING WATERS OF SEVILLE
Last Line: AND IN DARKNESS I ABIDE.
Subject(s): SEVILLE (RIVER), SPAIN;

Shining waters of Seville,
Flow you on as sweetly still?
Shall I never more your gleam
Glimpse, not even in a dream?

Nay; 'twas but a lightning, so
Momentarily aglow,
But it faded, and it died,
And in darkness I abide.
