The Danube In Wrath

 ("Quoi! ne pouvez-vous vivre ensemble?") 
 
 {XXXV., June, 1828.} 


 The River Deity upbraids his Daughters, the contributary Streams:— 
 
 Ye daughters mine! will naught abate 
 Your fierce interminable hate? 
 Still am I doomed to rue the fate 
 That such unfriendly neighbors made? 
 The while ye might, in peaceful cheer, 
 Mirror upon your waters clear, 
 Semlin! thy Gothic steeples dear, 
 And thy bright minarets, Belgrade!
