Chapter 6

This perfect evening slowly fallsWithout a stain, without a cloud;The sun has set—and all the bellsOf Venice in the skies are loud,Clashing and chiming far and near“Ave Maria,” while the moonLarge-globed and red, climbs through the mistTo loiter o’er the dark lagoon.

This perfect evening slowly falls

Without a stain, without a cloud;

The sun has set—and all the bells

Of Venice in the skies are loud,

Clashing and chiming far and near“Ave Maria,” while the moonLarge-globed and red, climbs through the mistTo loiter o’er the dark lagoon.

Clashing and chiming far and near

“Ave Maria,” while the moon

Large-globed and red, climbs through the mist

To loiter o’er the dark lagoon.
