I've seen the Poets' Houses: Sirmio Amid its olives where the Garda laves The ivied ruin still with Lydian waves, And Casa Magni and its sea below (Blue Mediterranean in autumnal glow), And Diodati on Geneva shore, And the stone house by Ponte Vecchio, And those Venetian Palaces of yore, And flowery doorway on the Isle of Wight, The gables by the Avon's winding mead, The windows near Winander in the light, The Gothic Abbey on the river Tweed: -- But by the waters of this earth of flowers Were none more fit than that white house of ours -- | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE INCOGNITA OF RAPHAEL by WILLIAM ALLEN BUTLER OH!
