The yassai plains thai far bsyeath MIN lay,
Ana mastering his brave Knights held them latent
TO guard each oft-assauited battlemen,.
Here bdsi'ing up the steep and narrow Tsth
Host after host came flaming IN eerce wrath.
Through the brch, day and through the stsrlt night
1lndeled the tempest OF the bloody hght;
Add those far y5sc'su mountains, sof. and blle,
Smiled through their purplo haze, as now they Do
Ga the deep Stiffness Of this peaceful day
When nought is heard ssve-fant and far away,
Down by tho vineyards green-the shepherd, song
Floating the vale end mountain side along
or cawlng rocks that elanor hour BY hour
Sailing around the Runs topmost tower.
Up the gray rscEs no more the flies sdvaneei
No mora the battle stern the wild romance.
Peace hath Der victories now, perchanco IS famed
As those On olden time the Warrior claimed.

Opens more hopefully, and evening closes
with tinted clouds Ike dropping leaves Of roses,
Oger the Roman streets and shrines and lounialn'.

And all be realized that poets sing.
