Summary

Portrait of Alfred Tennyson Alfred Tennyson,  To E.L., On His Travels In Greece (1853)

“ My spirits in the golden age.
For me the torrent ever pour'd
And glisten'd--here and there alone
The broad-limb'd Gods at random thrown
By fountain-urns;-and Naiads oar'd
A glimmering shoulder under gloom
Of cavern pillars; on the swell
The silver lily heaved and fell;
And many a slope was rich in bloom
From him that on the mountain lea
By dancing rivulets fed his flocks,
To him who sat upon the rocks,
And fluted to the morning sea.
This work was published before January 1, 1928, and is in the public domain worldwide because the author died at least 100 years ago.
