42 POEMS AND SONGS
Silence o’er all, and the darker blue sky
Watches serenely expectant, ’mid cheering
Dreams of the past and the future that’s nearing: —
Fluctuant gleams in the gray that is nigh.
But they will gather, and Rome be resurgent,
Day-dawn from Italy’s midnight emergent:
Cannon shall sound and the bells ring the new,
Mem’ries illumine the future’s bright blue! —
Greeting a bridal pair
Charming in hope so rare,
Voices bring soft salute,
Music of harp and flute.
Mightier yearnings sweet sleep is beguiling; —
Lesser dare waken to smiling.
IF ONLY YOU KNEW IT
T pare never speak up to you,
For you to look down would not do,
But always you are there each day,
And always I wander this way.
Our thoughts go by stealth to make search and renew it,
But neither dares question nor give answer due it;
If only you knew it!
When constantly I could be found,
You often in pride on me frowned;
But now that I rarely appear,
I see that you wait for me here!
