Hope! few ever cherish’d thee so little;<br>Few are the heads thou hast so rarely rais’d; <br>But thou didst promise this, and all was well.<br>For we are fond of thinking where to lie<br>When every pulse hath ceas’d, when the lone heart<br>Can lift no aspiration—reasoning<br>As if the sight were unimpair’d by death, <br>Were unobstructed by the coffin-lid,<br>And the sun cheer’d corruption! Over all<br>The smiles of Nature shed a potent charm,<br>And light us to our chamber at the grave.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Walter+Savage+Landor">Walter Savage Landor</a><div class=q> <img src="https://www.citatepedia.ro/g/32share.png" style="float:left" alt="Share"> <script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=citatepedia" async="async"></script><div style="display:inline-block" class="addthis_sharing_toolbox" data-url="http://en.citatepedia.ro/comments.php?id=535415" data-title="Farewell to Italy de Walter Savage Landor" data-description="I LEAVE thee, beauteous Italy! no more From the high terraces, at even-tide, To look supine into thy depths of sky, Thy golden moon between the cliff and me, Or thy dark spires of fretted cypresses Bordering the channel of the milky way.
