Lundy's Lane, and Other Poems

MEDITATION AT PERUGIA

The sunset colours mingle in the sky,

And over all the Umbrian valleys flow;

Trevi is touched with wonder, and the glow

Finds high Perugia crimson with renown;

Spello is bright;

And, ah! St. Francis, thy deep-treasured town,

Enshrined Assisi, fully fronts the light.

This valley knew thee many a year ago;
