All that’s lovely in life,
All that’s deathless in song,
Venetia’s fair isles,
To thy regions belong.
J. E. CARPENTER.
THAT GLORIOUS CITY IN THE SEA
There is a glorious City in the Sea.
The sea is in the broad, the narrow streets,
Ebbing and flowing; and the salt sea-weed
Clings to the marble of her palaces.
