Explore "After Reading Trollope's History of Florence" by Eugene Field on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
My books are on their shelves again / And clouds lie low with mist and rain. / Afar the Arno murmurs low / The tale of fields of melting snow. / List to the bells of times agone / The while I wait me for the dawn.
Beneath great Giotto's Campanile / The gray ghosts throng; their whispers steal / From poets' bosoms long since dust; / They ask me now to go. I trust / Their fleeter footsteps where again / They come at night and live as men.
