DESENZANO.
From dust and travel of the Brescian way
Who rests at Desenzano, shall behold
A little trading port, with steamers bold
To tempt Benacus, fair or stormy day ;
And the great Alps, and sail-uplifting bay,
Shut from the world save it those wings unfold ;
And Sirmio, to whose cliffs Catullus told
His greeting, in that simple mighty lay,
Enduring as the waters ; that from out
A thousand springs in the cold hills between
Camonica and Garda gather here * ;
Through the blue smoke of whose tumultuous rout,
Two prophet forms, one gloomier, one serene,
The guider, and the guided, oft appear.
