Won't you help support DayPoems? SorrentoBy John Hay10/8/1838-7/1/1905The mirthful gods who ruled o'er Greater Greece Created this fair land in some high mood Of frolic joy; the smiling heavens brood Over a scene soft-whelmed in jocund peace. Gay clamors, odorous breathings never cease From basking crag, lime grove, and olive wood; Swart fishers sing from out the sparkling flood Where once the syrens sang in luring ease. The curved beach swarms with brown-skinned boys and girls Dancing the tarantella on the sands, Their limbs dive with music's jollity; And ever, where the warm wave leaps and swirls With glad embrace clasping the bowery lands, Breaks the tumultuous laughter of the sea.
