YOUR parks are unsurpassed in noble trees; A finer bath than yours one seldom sees; Grand is your colonnade, and all complete The stone mosaic underneath your feet; Your steeds are fine; your hunting-grounds are wide, And gleaming fountains spout on every side; Your drawing-rooms are grand; there's nothing cheap Except the places where you eat and sleep! With all the space and splendor you have got, Oh, what a charming mansion you have not! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WE PARTED IN SILENCE by JULIA CRAWFORD THE MULBERRY GARDEN: CHILD AND MAIDEN by CHARLES SEDLEY ASTROPHEL AND STELLA: 25 by PHILIP SIDNEY BETH GELERT; OR, THE GRAVE OF THE GREYHOUND by WILLIAM ROBERT SPENCER |
