Rome And Nature

by Percy Bysshe Shelley

Percy Bysshe Shelley

Rome has fallen, ye see it lying
Heaped in undistinguished ruin:
Nature is alone undying.

    Sketch
    by Carl Sandburg
    THE shadows of the ships Rock on the crest In the low blue lustre Of the tardy and the soft inrolling tide. A long brown bar at the dip of the sky Puts an arm of sand in the span of salt.
