Ravenna.<br><br>A Year ago I breathed the Italian air, -<br>And yet, methinks this northern Spring is fair, -<br>These fields made golden with the flower of March, <br>The throstle singing on the feathered larch, <br>The cawing rooks, the wood-doves fluttering by, <br>The little clouds that race across the sky;<br>And fair the violets gentle drooping head, <br>The primrose, pale for love uncomforted, <br>The rose that burgeons on the climbing briar, <br>The crocus-bed, (that seems a moon of fire<br>Round-girdled with a purple marriage-ring);<br>And all the flowers of our English Spring, <br>Fond snow-drops, and the bright-starred daffodil.<br>Up starts the lark beside the murmuring mill, <br>And breaks the gossamer-threads of early dew;<br>And down the river, like a flame of blue, <br>Keen as an arrow flies the water-king, <br>While the brown linnets in the greenwood sing.<br>A year ago! – it seems a little time<br>Since last I saw that lordly southern clime, <br>Where flower and fruit to purple radiance blow, <br>And like bright lamps the fabled apples glow.
