All crowd upon the feasted eye
Revelling in scenic luxury.

What column there lifts its dark head-
Like a tall cypress by the dead
It mournfully appears-

A swarthy stranger of the East,

Darken'd by clime, or age, or years,
A palmer in a flowery waste?-

It is the trophied work of him
Who made the fame of others dim,

A being that once trod

On crowns and crowned heads, and shone
On earth a mortal god;

Whom elements were sent to tame

For man too much alone;

Now laid afar, forbid a name
Upon his burial stone!—

But time hath graved it deep-and he
Sleeps on an island rock,
That owes an immortality

To every tempest's shock,
Thundering his ocean dirge

In billows sweeping from the pole,
Unbroken to their foaming goal,
And every western surge!—
Beneath that dome once lay reurn'd
The letter'd, sceptic, brave,
In revolution's whim-now turn'd
Into a fitter grave,

Beneath a prouder dome they lie;
And juggling priests their place supply,
With relics from the catacombs
Doom'd to be worshipp'd in their tombs!

What richness sunset flings!

Palace, grove, cemetery, hill,

Streets crowded, through which myriads go
For business, pleasure, good, or ill,
As others have before my day;
While now I gaze my hour away,
And think what sights those city towers
Have seen of man in by-gone hours!

Fair City of a lovely sky!

Twilight is curtaining thy plain—
The sleepy night is hastening nigh,
And I must greet thy crowd again.
O mayst thou some day be as fair,
As free, as pure, as thine own air-
Purge off the taints that stain thy fame,
And of Troy's chief own but the name!
