‘I forget
Where I was in my journey—well—from Egypt
Westward, thro' Spain: where life's full pilgrimage
Is imaged forth by nature: long waste plains
That sleep and pant beneath a giant heat,
For daily travel: evenings, in the heart
Of some gay city spent, while shadow and song
Fall from the window'd heights, where beauty sits
Dark-eyed amid the latticed jessamines:
And from high doors, the strains, that pierce the skies,
Float outwards on the incense.’
Where I was in my journey—well—from Egypt
Westward, thro' Spain: where life's full pilgrimage
Is imaged forth by nature: long waste plains
That sleep and pant beneath a giant heat,
For daily travel: evenings, in the heart
Of some gay city spent, while shadow and song
Fall from the window'd heights, where beauty sits
Dark-eyed amid the latticed jessamines:
And from high doors, the strains, that pierce the skies,
Float outwards on the incense.’
