I have never seen Volcanoes mdash | B |
But when Travellers tell | C |
How those old mdash phlegmatic mountains | D |
Usually so still mdash | B |
- | |
Bear within mdash appalling Ordnance | E |
Fire and smoke and gun | F |
Taking Villages for breakfast | G |
And appalling Men mdash | B |
- | |
If the stillness is Volcanic | H |
In the human face | I |
When upon a pain Titanic | H |
Features keep their place mdash | B |
- | |
If at length the smouldering anguish | B |
Will not overcome mdash | B |
And the palpitating Vineyard | J |
In the dust be thrown | K |
- | |
If some loving Antiquary | L |
On Resumption Morn | M |
Will not cry with joy Pompeii | N |
To the Hills return | O |
