ON AN OLD PORTRAIT Song, and the clash of castanets Across the ages come, — The silver chime of the tambourine. And the soft guitar ' s ting-tum. Moonlight, and the breath of roses, — Castles and fees in Spain, — Are mine once more, with never a trace Of care and grief and pain — Henry Jerome Stockard
