As any flower that blossomed there
In sun and rain, and strong therewith
And lissom as a willow withe.

...s this trembling race:
These are thy grass as thou their trenchant scythes
Cleaving their neck as 'twere a willow withe—
Their blood none can efface.
"But ends thy tether! for Janina makes
A grave for thee where every turret quakes,
And thou shalt drop below
To where the spirits, to a tree enchained,

For all to-come in woe!
"Or if, by happy chance, thy soul might flee
Thy victims, after, t...Read more of this...
