The lamp-fly lured there, wanting the white flower.

Over the roof o' the lighted church I looked

A bowshot to the street's end, north away

Out of the Roman gate to the Roman road

By the river, till I felt the Apennine.

And there would lie Arezzo, the man's town,

The woman's trap and cage and torture-place,

Also the stage where the priest played his part,

A spectacle for angels,—ay, indeed,

There lay Arezzo! Farther then I fared,
