Stanzas [To F. S. O.]

August 8, 2022

Stanzas Lady! I would that verse of mineCould fling, all lavishly and free,Prophetic tones from every line,Of health, joy, peace, in store for thee.

Perhaps it may be that my ...

Sonnet — To Zante

August 5, 2022

Sonnet — To Zante Fair isle, that from the fairest of all flowersThy gentlest of all gentle names dost take,How many memories of what radiant hoursAt sight of thee and thine at once awake!How many scenes of what departed bliss!How many thoughts of what entombed hopes!How many visions of a maiden that isNo more — no more upon thy verdant slopes!No more! — alas, that magical sad soundTransforming all! Thy charms shall please no more —Thy memory no more! Accursed groundHenceforth I hold thy flower-enamelled shore,O, hyacinthine isle! O, purple Zante!Isola d’oro! Fior ...
