WHERE, Corinth, is the glory of thy keep, The ancient wealth, the turret-circled steep? Where are thy fanes, thy homes? Where all thy wives? Where do the myriads of thy people sleep? Of all thy pride no sign is left to-day: All has war taken, all consumed away. Only the halcyons, Ocean's Nereid brood, Unravished yet, to weep thy downfall stay. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VIGNETTES OVERSEAS: 6.
