The sky is changed,—and such a change! O night
And storm and darkness! ye are wondrous strong,
Yet lovely in your strength, as is the light
Of a dark eye in woman! Far along,
From peak to peak, the rattling crags among,
Leaps the live thunder.

A palace and a prison on each hand.

The pleasant place of all festivity,
The revel of the earth, the masque of Italy.

I planted; they have torn me, and I bleed.
