Samuel Rogers Rise Poems
- 1. The Pleasures Of Memory Part Ii
Delle cose custode, e dispensiera.

And my step falters on the faithless floor,
Shades of departed joys around me rise,
With many a face that smiles on me no more;

And dost thou still, thou mass of breathing stone,
(Thy giant limbs to night and chaos hurl'd)

How near the Scene where once his Glory shone!
