were wearing, aye, insensibly apart. We came to Italy. I felt A yearning for its sunny sky ; My very spirit seem'd to melt As swept its first warm breezes by. Fcom lip and cheek a chilling mist, From life and soul a frozen rime, By every breath seem'd softly kiss'd — God's blessing on its radiant clime ! It was an endless joy to me To see my sister's new delight ; From Venice in its golden sea To Posstum in its purple light — By sweet Val d'Amo's tinted hills — In Vallombrosa's convent gloom — ...'Mid Terni's vale of singing rills-^ By deathless lairs in solemn Rome — In gay Palermo's " Golden Shell"— At Arethusa's hidden well — We loiter'd like th' impassion'd sun That slept so lovingly on all. And made a home of every one — Ruin, and fane, and waterfall — And crown'd the dying day with glory If we had seen, since morn, but one old haunt of story. ( 13-^ ) We came with Spring to Tivoli. My sister loved its laughing air And merry waters, though, for me, My heart was in another key ; And sometimes I could scarcely bear The mirth of their eternal play, And, like a child that longs for home When weary of its holiday, I sigh'd for melancholy Rome.
