"Stately rose their city — Many towns are fair, None rose like Granada In the morning air. There the Moorish princes swayed Empire which themselves had made. Like a dream their memory dwells Where the carved marble tells Of the Moslem rule in Spain."

"Honoured be each story Brought from other days, But for them there were no flowers On our world-worn ways. Every land, and every heart, Turn back to their earlier part. Let old songs and stories live While the fanciful they give To the Moslem rule in Spain."

"The winds are stirred with tumult — on the air Sound drum and trumpet, atabal and gong — Strong voices loud uplift a barbarous song.

On roll his chariot-wheels, while every roll From prostrate bodies crushes forth a soul : Rejoicing such last agony to bear."

"It is a little azure bird, It has a plaintive cry, It singeth mournful to the eve, When none beside are nigh. …. And for the love it beareth them, The natives hold it true, That whosoever kills this bird, Himself must perish too."

"Of the vacant temple Little now remains, Lowly are the statues, Lowly are the fanes, Filled with worshippers no more. Heavily the creeper Traces its green line Round the fallen altar, Now no more divine— As it was in days of yore, In the days of stately Carthage, The ocean’s earliest queen. …. Empire still has followed The revolving sun; Earth’s great onward progress In the East begun— Ruins, deserts, now are there. Downfall waits on triumph: Is such fate in store For our glorious islands? Will our English shore Lie as desolate and bare As the shores of fallen Carthage, The ocean’s former queen?"

"When I see Homes, of Beauty and of Splendour, I, that am merely rich in being loved, By one whose wealth is in a heart too tender, To let me share his poverty unmoved: Sighing, I marvel, what such chance of fortune, Can add too happiness, or take away; And whether all the cloying gifts, importune, Or bless the wealthy, through the livelong day!"

"Open the door, my princess dear, Open the door to thy true love here! And mind the words that thou and I said By the fountain cool, in the greenwood shade."
