And May, and June!

What I love best in all the world

Is a castle, precipice-encurled,

In a gash of the wind-grieved Apennine,

Or look for me, old fellow of mine,

(If I get my head from out the mouth

O' the grave, and loose my spirit's bands,

And come again to the land of lands)—

In a sea-side house to the farther South,

Where the baked cicala dies of drouth,
