Tourist, spare the avid glance
That greedy roves the sight to see:
Little here of 'Old Romance,'
Or Picturesque of Tivoli.
No flushful tint the sense to warm-
Pure outline pale, a linear charm.
The clear-cut hills carved temples face,
Respond, and share their sculptural grace.
'Tis Art and Nature lodged together,
Sister by sister, cheek to cheek;
Such Art, such Nature, and such weather,
The All-in-All seems here a Greek.
