The work of Roman hands



These walls the work of Roman hands
How may conjecturing Fancy pore
As lonely here one calmly stands
On paths that age has trampled oer
The builders names are known no more
No spot on earth their memory bears
& crowds reflecting thus before
Have since found graves as dark as theirs

The figure in the 1820s print is John Clare
