Here are some poems about Italy, probably the most poetic land on earth, though France might disagree.
We’ll begin the selection with an excerpt from a poem by Samuel Rogers (1763-1855)
There is a glorious City in the Sea.
The Sea is in the broad, the narrow streets,
Ebbing and flowing; and the salt sea-weed
Clings to the marble of her palaces.
