Santa Barbara
by Francis Fisher Browne (1843�1913) |

|
Between the mountains and the sea,
Walled by the
rock, fringed by the foam,
A valley stretches fair and
free
Beneath the blue of heaven's dome.
At rest in
that fair valley lies
Saint Barbara, the beauteous maid;
Above her head the cloudless skies
Smile down upon her
charms displayed.
The sunlit mountains o'er her shed
The splendor of their purple tinge;
While round her like
a mantle spread
The blue seas with their silver fringe.
Enfolded in that soothing calm,
The earth seems
sweet, and heaver near;
The flowers bloom free, the air
is balm,
And summer rules the radiant year. |
