No flash snapped, no dumb thunder rolled

In the valley beneath where, white and wide

Washed by the morning water-gold,

Florence lay out on the mountain side

River and bridge and street and square

Lay mine, as much at my beck and call,

Through the live translucent bath of air,

As the sights in a magic crystal ball.

Here is the Roman Campagna and its very sentiment:

The champaign with its endless fleece
