Madonna Di Campagna is the name They christened their few hovels and a church, And their small roads cross others in the search For further stones to consecrate her fame; The mountains over mountains now acclaim A hope with which the stars, from dawn to age, Illuminate the skies, from page to page, In scrolls these humans fancy pray with flame! The village has no further roundelays -- The folk are lazier, the atmosphere Weighs drowsily beneath the golden haze: What work have they ahead, whose past lies clear, Except to raise some earth to scatter those Whom the Madonna gathers for repose? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HE FINDS THE MANSION by JAMES MCMICHAEL BY DIFFERENT PATHS by MARVIN BELL DRIVING HOME by MADELINE DEFREES ART IS PARALLEL TO NATURE by CLARENCE MAJOR HIGHWAY 2, ILLINOIS by LISEL MUELLER FESTOONS OF FISHES by ALFRED FRANCIS KREYMBORG PEEWEE by ALFRED FRANCIS KREYMBORG .....
