A WAY-SIDE LANDSCAPE IN ITALY. - ZaunköniG - 05.05.2009 A WAY-SIDE LANDSCAPE IN ITALY. Easter Eggs. There stands a fortress by a Roman way, With battered base, and dark imperious towers ; And massy grates that scorned the irregular powers, Colonna, or Savelli, in their day; But ilexes with foreheads round and grey, Grow now upon the moat; and slanting showers Chase sunshine through the open gate ; with flowers The windows high above are bright and gay. For 'tis the vernal time, when in the woods Springs the ranunculus; and the holy tide Of Easter comes, by rituals led along; And in the streets go flocking multitudes, With painted eggs, of many a colour pied; But not so motley as the moving throng. |
