IN the Rhine, that beautiful river, The sacred town of Cologne, With its vast cathedral, is ever Full clearly mirror'd and shown. A picture on golden leather In that fair cathedral is seen; On my life, so sad altogether, It hath cast its rays serene. The flowers and angels hover Round our dear Lady there; Her eyes, lips, cheeks, all over Resemble my mistress fair. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A JEWISH FAMILY; IN A SMALL VALLEY OPPOSITE ST.
