Immortelles and Asphodels: Poems (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Excerpt from Immortelles and Asphodels: Poems

Into the hazy distance melt The old Ohio Hills 5 The river at their feet glides on And all the valley fills, While bendeth tenderly and O'erhead the sky so blue.

The ancient town in sunlight steeped Seems wrapped in dreamless sleep. No creature, tread, or any sound, Doth break the silence deep, While bendeth tenderly and true O'erhead the sky so blue.

A Sabbath stillness rests on earth; Hills, river, town, the air.

Excerpt from Immortelles and Asphodels: Poems

This Day.

Into the hazy distance melt
The old Ohio Hills;
The river at their feet glides on
And all the valley fills,
While bendeth tenderly and true
O'erhead the sky so blue.

The ancient town in sunlight steeped
Seems wrapped in dreamless sleep.
No creature, tread, or any sound,
Doth break the silence deep,
While bendeth tenderly and true
O'erhead the sky so blue.
