Classic and Contemporary Poetry


ON THE PALATINE HILL by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON

First Line: ABOVE THE PALACE OF THE CAESARS BLOW
Last Line: LONG TIME AGONE, SUCH A GREAT WHILE AGO!
Subject(s): FLOWERS; PASSION; TREES;

ABOVE the palace of the Caesars blow
Poppies and buttercups, and rise cool trees:
The palms and pines and slender cypresses.
What pomps and passions buried under these,
Long time agone, such a great while ago!
