Thick. soWn with stars, when from the still lagoon
We glided noiseless through the dim canal?
A sense of some belated festival
Hung round us, and our own hearts beat in tune
With passionate memories that the young moon
Lit Up on dome and tower and palace wall.
We dreamed what ghosts of vanished loves made part
OF that sweet light and trembling, amorous air.
felt in those rich beams that kissed your hair,
Those breezes warm with by-gone lovers sighs-

All the old loves of Venice in my heart.
