DRIFTING.

Ny soul today
Is far away.
Sailing the Ncsuvian bay;
My winged boat,
A bird aAoat,
Swims round the purple peaks remote.
Round purple peaks
1t sails, and seeks
Blue inlets in their crystal creeks,
Where high rocks throw,
Through deers below,
A duplicated golden glow.
Far, vague and dim
The mountains swim;
While on Nesuvius' misty brim.
With outstretched hands,
The gray smoke stands
O'erlooking the volcanic landA
Here Ischia smiles
Der liquid miles:
And yonder. bluest Of the isles,
Calm Capri waits,
Her sapphire gates
Beguiling to her bright estates
heed not, il
My ripping skin
Float swift or slow from cliff TO cliff
With dreamiul eyes
My spirit lies
Under the walls OF Paradise.
Under the walls.
Where swclls and falls
The bays deep breast at Intervals,
At peace lie,
Blown softly hv.
A cloud upon the LIQUID sky.
The dsv, 50 mild,
Is Heavens own child.
With Earth and Ocean reconciled--
The airs feel
Around me steal
Are mumuring to the murmuring keel.
Over the rail
My hand trail
Within the shadow Of the sail,
4 cooling sense
JOY intense.
Glides down my drowsy incidence
With dresmful eyes
My spirit lies
Where summer sings and never dies
o'crveiled with vines,
She glows and shines
Among her future oil and wines.
Her children. hid
The cliffs amid
Are gamboling with the eamboling kid
Or down the walls.
With tipsy calls,
Laugh on the rocks like waterfalls.
The fishers child,
With tresses wild.
Unto the smooth, bright sand beguiled,
With glowing lips
SINGS as she skips,
Or gazes at the fsr.off ships.
Non deep bark goes
Where Traffic blows,
From lands OF sun to lands OF snow
This happier one.
Its course is run
From lands Of snow to lands Of sun.
q happy ship,
To rise and dip,
With the blue crystal at your lipi
q happy crew,
My heart with you
Sails, and sails, and sings anew!
No more. no more
The worldly shore
Upbrsids me with its loud uproar!
With dreamful e~s
My spirit lies
Under the walls Of Paradise!
