LXXI.

Let Fancy’s vivid hues awhile prevail—

Wake at her call—be all thou wert once more!

Hark! hymns of triumph swell on every gale—

Lo! bright processions move along thy shore;

Again thy temples, midst the olive-shade,

Lovely in chaste simplicity arise;

And graceful monuments, in grove and glade,

Catch the warm tints of thy resplendent skies;

And sculptured forms, of high and heavenly mien,

In their calm beauty smile around the sun-bright scene.
