Their dark exuberance of hair,

Black eyes, rich tints, and sundry graces

Of classic pure Italian faces!

Di. Ah me, me!

Clear stars above, thou roseate westward sky,

Take up my being into yours; assume

My sense to know you only; steep my brain

In your essential purity, or, great Alps,

That wrapping round your heads in solemn clouds

Seem sternly to sweep past our vanities,
