Drowsily whispereth dreamy tale;
And the city's hum like of bees,
Floats family to me down the misty vale.
zen this gra arch of blue intense
Peoples with dreams my sleepy incidence.
The sluggard river slowly creeps along
As if aweary of its onward race,
And seems to murmur complaining song
A lingering farewell to its native place
in the deep passes of the Appenines,
Where winds and twilight dwell among the
pines.
The sunlight sleeps upon the waters now.
Which sleep themselves, scarce ripping in
the sun;
The weary laborer leaves the tagging plough
Halfway within the furrow last begun,
And throws himself upon grassy mound,
Where a cool shadow falls athwart the ground.
Each tender blossom drops its tinted check,
O'erweighed with odor that around it lives
AS young maldens heart grows faint and
weak
VITA the sweet burthen of the love it gives;
And tremuloGs the sigh in bashlu bliss
AS if a-dreaming of the south winds kiss.
No living thing is near me to destroy
The airy fabrics that my fancy rears,
Save tie sweet bee, who. with melodious Joy,
From bud to bloom all luscious laden steers;
And cen the bright-eyed lizzard meath the
spray
In silent slumber lies all coilcd away.
! feel like one who, drunk with charmed
wine,
Cares naught for other joys that heaven
bestows,-
Fame, wealth, love, power, e'en pocsy divine,
TO me what are they, in this rapt repose,
But the idle visions Of fevcred brain,
The which to miss, not have, seems greatest
pain?
Oh, luxury divine! Come, Ceres spread
A slumbrous couch of poppy -fringed
sheaves
Come laughng Bacchus, from the boughs
o'erhead
Rain down drapery of rustng leaves
While Proserpine shakes all her Lethean
flowers,
With perfume leading me to dreamland bow
ers.
Field, hill and sky grow dim-not vain the
PRAYER
My willing eyeds dissipate the day,
A lotus influence rocks my soul in air
Far, far beyond, the world is yelled away.
oh Ceres, Bacchus, Proserpinc--far three.
Is this the land of dreams or Italy?
