Northport High School, Northport, L. I.
I stood in RiA'a, gazing Avest
Upon a tiny, inland sea,
Lago di Garda, "Lake of the Blest,"
The sun Avas tinting its deep blue
breast,
A rippling, roseate phantasie.
It lay there, Avatehed on every side
. By mountains, cut by age old trails,
There towers Brion's glacier Avlcle
And frowns Mont Negro's somber
pride
And Areo's Avinter-floAv'ring vales.
But south beyond that snow-capped wall
Iialia spreads in olive-green
Where mountain sides to foot-hills fall
Gardone, Avith its ancient hall,
And Limoni in mottled sheen.
One moment was this all agleam,
A scurrying sail caught last the light
As sank the sun with ruddy beam;
Then scarce a moment did it seem
And all Avas Avrapt in silent night.
