The Legend Of Vallambrosa.
An ancient myth like ivied vesture clings
About fair Vallambrosa's cloistered walls,
Telling that 'neath the roof sweet charity
Has spread her soft, warm draperies within
What time eight circling centuries have traced,
In memories gray and green, her blessedness.
Of the fair, nestling valley here to sing,
With sweet-strung choice of cadenced synonymes,
