THE CHRAGAN PALACE
By THOMAS TERZYAN
(1842–1909)
Have you ever seen that wondrous building,
Whose white shadows in the blue wave sleep?
There Carrara sent vast mounds of marble,
And Propontis, beauty of the deep.
From the tombs of centuries awaking,
Souls of every clime and every land
Have poured forth their rarest gifts and treasures
