A summer isle, one over which the wind Hath ever pass'd in melody,- such airs As are born in the rose's breast, and die Like singing on the waters. (Letitia Elizabeth Landon)

A summer isle, one over which the wind Hath ever pass'd in melody,- such airs As are born in the rose's breast, and die Like singing on the waters.
