STANZAS.
Hark! Italy's music
Melts over the sea;
Falling light from some lattice,
Where cavaliers be:
And sweet lady voices
Steal over the deep,
To hush all around us
The billows to sleep.
Melts over the sea;

Where cavaliers be:
xiv
Steal over the deep,
To hush all around us
The billows to sleep.
Our gondola gently
Goes over the wave;
As though it were dreaming
To sounds that enslave:—
We listen—we listen!
How blessed are we,
Who hear this dim music
O'er Italy's sea!
Goes over the wave;
As though it were dreaming
To sounds that enslave:—
We listen—we listen!
How blessed are we,
Who hear this dim music
O'er Italy's sea!
