SET OF MOON by WILLIAM ALEXANDER PERCY

First Line: THE ARCHERESS HAD GONE
Last Line: THE CITY OF THE GODS THAT NEVER SLEEP.
Subject(s): ARCHERS AND ARCHERY; CITIES; MOON; URBAN LIFE;
The archeress had gone;
A western hill across her path still bore
The magic of her recent footing there;
And upwards all the air was lustral pure.
The city slept, but far above shone bright
The city of the gods that never sleep.
