My books are on their shelves again	A
And clouds lie low with mist and rain	B
Afar the Arno murmurs low	C
The tale of fields of melting snow	C
List to the bells of times agone	C
The while I wait me for the dawn	C
	-
Beneath great Giotto's Campanile	C
The gray ghosts throng their whispers steal	C
From poets' bosoms long since dust	D
They ask me now to go I trust	D
Their fleeter footsteps where again	C
They come at night and live as men	C
	-
The rain falls on Ghiberti's gates	E
The big drops hang on purple dates	E
And yet beneath the ilex shades	F
Dear trysting place for boys and maids	F
There comes a form from days of old	G
With Beatrice's hair of gold	G
	-
The breath of lands or lilied streams	H
Floats through the fabric of my dreams	H
And yonder from the hills of song	I
Where psalmists brood and prophets throng	I
The lone majestic Dante leads	J
His love across the blooming meads	J
	-
Along the almond walks I tread	K
And greet the figures of the dead	K
Mirandula walks here with him	L
Who lived with gods and seraphim	L
Yet where Colonna's fair feet go	C
There passes Michael Angelo	C
	-
In Rome or Florence still with her	M
Stands lone and grand her worshipper	M
In Leonardo's brain there move	N
Christ and the children of His love	O
And Raphael is touching now	C
For the last time an angel's brow	C
	-
Angelico is praying yet	P
Where lives no pang of man's regret	P
And mixing tears and prayers within	C
His palette's wealth absolved from sin	C
He dips his brush in hues divine	C
San Marco's angel faces shine	C
	-
Within Lorenzo's garden green	C
Where olives hide their boughs between	C
The lovers as they read betimes	J
Their love within Petrarca's lines	J
Stand near the marbles found at Rome	L
Lost shades that search in vain for home	L
	-
They pace the paths along the stream	L
Dark Vallombrosa in their dream	L
They sing amidst the rain drenched pines	J
Of Tuscan gold that ruddier shines	J
Behind a saint's auroral face	J
That shows e'en yet the master's trace	J
	-
But lo within the walls of gray	M
E're yet there falls a glint of day	M
And far without from hill to vale	C
Where honey hearted nightingale	C
Or meads of pale anemones	J
Make sweet the coming morning breeze	J
	-
I hear a voice of prophet tone	C
A voice of doom like his alone	C
That once in Gadara was heard	Q
The old walls trembled lo the bird	Q
Has ceased to sing and yonder waits	J
Lorenzo at his palace gates	J
	-
Some Romola in passing by	R
Turns toward the ruler and his sigh	R
Wanders amidst the myrtle bowers	J
Or o'er the city's mantled towers	J
For she is Florence 'Wilt thou hear	M
San Marco's prophet Doom is near '	-
	-
'Her liberties ' he cries 'restore	M
This much for Florence yea and more	M
To men and God ' The days are gone	C
And in an hour of perfect dawn	C
I stand beneath the cypress trees	J
That shiver still with words like these	J
