SONNET
WRITTEN IN HOLY WEEK AT GENOA
I
WANDERED
through Scoglietto's far retreat,
The oranges on each o'erhanging spray
Burned as bright lamps of gold to shame the day;
Some startled bird with fluttering wings and fleet
Made snow of all the blossoms; at my feet
Like silver moons the pale narcissi lay:
And the curved waves that streaked the great green bay
Laughed i' the sun, and life seemed very sweet.

If aught from Jove, or Thetis, stop thy arm,
Some beam of comfort yet on Greece may shine,
If I but lead the Myrmidonian line:
Clad in thy

Proud Troy shall tremble, and desert the war;
Without thy person Greece shall win the day,
And thy mere image chase her foes away.

There seem'd from the remotest seat
Of the wide mountain waste
To the soft flower beneath our feet
A magic circle traced
A spirit interfused around,
A thrilling silent life;
To
momentary
peace it bound
Our mortal nature's strife;--
And still I felt the centre of
The magic circle there
Was one fair Form that fill'd with love
The lifeless atmosphere.

And wishes, and denies, --

annul a want
