GUIDO SAVELLA.
"Oh! to his fancy
Heated and overwrought, its beauty grew
Warm, living, human! And he loved a picture,
Following the wanderings of an erring brain,
His heart went from him, blindly and astray."

Save that with early morn a funeral train
Wound through the gateway, there had reigned all day
Silence unbroken in Savella's house.
The close-drawn curtains hung in motionless folds,
The fountain in the court had ceased to play,
And when eve came, a single lonely taper
