("Versailles, France")
When the long drawn notes of a bird's song / Echoes through the trees, / It brings to remembrance the songs / Of the blackbirds at Petit Trianon: / Chiming, reverberating, floating down / From the tops of the tall cedars / As from an invisible, celestial choir.
Nor can I forget the ages-old wisteria / Clambering over gray palace walls, / Nor the gamut of color in the azaleas there -- / Pink, orange, cerise, yellow -- / In pale green foliage.
