GRANADA.
City of dreams and vermeil walls; ' Rich, in unrivalled, lore Of that which hath been, for this Granada Royally reigned of yore. City of scenes, surpassing fair; The Crescent on'her towers When the pearl-shod feet of the Slooriah. maid Tripped thro' her rosy bowers. City of fretted a.rche.3 flung In wendrous white surprise; Lovelier by far than the lone Tadmof Under Arabian skies. City of stately haunted halls — "floors that have darksome stains; The Goth, the Jew, and the Saracen gone, Y«t Granada, still remains. City, of visions, vermeil-walled By Dane's rushing tide, The dowryed relict of ancient might Romance hath made his bride. —RosLYir. Thame3, Auckland. "
