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. ”
