For, as the hours would throng And sleep beset me--still thy song arose From garden-grove, and piny garden-close! Souvenir of Aix-les-Bains. Written in woods, Hernskretchen, Bohemia. AT THE THERMAL BATHS OF CARACALLA. Where once the paragon of Rome had trod Upon the grasses, thick with poppies rare--Where once the ladies, fairest of the fair, Their bodies lithe, the envy of a god, Slow bathed in waters scented sweet--there we, A newer race, our feet more freely move; Oblivious of the things those kings did love.
