A BIRTHDAY THOUGHT IN ITALY. 77 But like these pure Etruscan skies, Unsullied by the Goth s control, One fane the vandal Time defies, The dome of sunshine in the soul ! And thou, fair maid, so young and blest ! When impious years shall touch thy brow, Still hold this sunshine in thy breast, And be as beautiful as now. Bagna di Lucca, August 16, 1855. THE STAYED CURSE. WITH face half hidden in ungathered hair, Which fell like sunshine o er her shoulders bare, She leaned her cheek against her cha...mber wall, As if to note when some far voice should call. Her weary soul stood at its prison bars, Fainting to hear a summons from the stars : For life was now a midnight wilderness, Wherein none whispered peace to her distress, Save One, whose voice, of love and pity blended, Mid her loud grief was not yet comprehended. 78 THE STAYED CURSE. 79 She heard alone the vulture sailing by, Led by the foulest birds of calumny; Felt the cold serpents crawl against her feet, And saw the gaunt wolves steal to her retreat.
