Tonight beside the lambert blaze
That leaps within my lurid CRATE
dream Of Greece-her vanished days,
Her glorious and lost estate.
OF ancient times and scenes remote
Where Sappho sung her songs Of love
And echo chimes the softest note
From verdant vale to hills above,
Where Zephyrus for Flora seeks,
In grove and myrtled wilderness
Beneath the pink, pellucid peaks
Red with Aurora 3 warm caresss
And where Diana gazed upon
And kissed with sleep the starry eyes
OF her beloved Endymion
Until he dreamed Of paradise.
I hear Apollo tuneful harp
Awake 0lympian melodies,
And then I hear sound more sharp
That breaks the rhythmic reFeries.
1t thrill Olympus to its base
And makes my Grecian raptures flee
The dream departs ana in its place
ny baby shrieks upon my knee.
