Página 135 - When along the light ripple the far serenade Has accosted the ear of each passionate maid, She may open the window that looks on the stream, — She may smile on her pillow and blend it in dream ; Half in words, half in music, it pierces the gloom, " I am coming — stall — but you know not for whom...
Página 135 - Now the tones become clearer, — you hear more and more How the water divided returns on the oar, — Does the prow of the gondola strike on the stair ? Do the voices and instruments pause and prepare ? Oh ! they faint on the ear as the lamp on the view, " I am passing — Premi — but I stay not for you...

Página 68 - In Venice Tasso's echoes are no more, And silent rows the songless gondolier; Her palaces are crumbling to the shore, And music meets not always now the ear: Those days are gone — but Beauty still is here. States fall, arts fade — but Nature doth not die, Nor yet forget how Venice once was dear, The pleasant place of all festivity, The revel of the earth, the masque of Italy!

Can he take in the glory of this hour, And call it all the decking of a bier ? No, surely as on that Titanic tower...
Página 68 - But unto us she hath a spell beyond Her name in story, and her long array Of mighty shadows, whose dim forms despond Above the dogeless city's vanish'd sway; Ours is a trophy which will not decay With the Rialto ; Shylock and the Moor, And Pierre, cannot be swept or worn away — The keystones of the arch ! though all were o'er, For us repeopled were the solitary shore.
Página 258 - The heavenly archer stands — no human birth, No perishable denizen of earth ; Youth blooms immortal in his beardless face, A god in strength, with more than godlike grace ; All, all divine — no struggling muscle glows, Through heaving vein no mantling life-blood flows, But animate with deity alone...

Lagoon, Come for the hundredth time, — Our thoughts shall make a pleasant tune, Our words a worthy rhyme ; And thickly round us we will set Such visions as were seen, By Tizian and by Tintorett, And dear old Giambellin, — And all their peers in art, whose eyes, Taught by this sun and sea, Flashed on their works those burning dyes, That fervent poetry ; And wove the shades so thinly-clear They would be parts of light In northern climes, where frowns severe Mar half the charms of sight.
Página 58 - In this thy household sanctuary No visible monument of thee : The Fount that whilom played before thee, The Roof that rose in shelter o'er thee, The low fair Hills that still adore thee, — I would no more ; thy memory Must loathe all cold reality, Thought-worship only is for thee. They say thy Tomb lies there below ; What want I with the marble show ? I am content, — I will not go...
