SORRENTO REVISITED.
(1885.)
On the lizarded wall and the gold-orb'd tree
Spring's splendour again is shining;
But the glow of its gladness awakes in me
Only a vast repining.
Spring's splendour again is shining;
But the glow of its gladness awakes in me
Only a vast repining.
To Sorrento, asleep on the soft blue breast
Of the sea that she loves, and dreaming,
Lone Capri uplifts an ethereal crest
In the luminous azure gleaming.
Of the sea that she loves, and dreaming,
Lone Capri uplifts an ethereal crest
In the luminous azure gleaming.
And the Sirens are singing again from the shore.
'Tis the song that they sang to Ulysses;
But the sound of a song that is sung no more
My soul in their music misses.
'Tis the song that they sang to Ulysses;
But the sound of a song that is sung no more
My soul in their music misses.
