This poem is from Fisher's Drawing Room Scrap Book, 1832.
It should be formatted as follows:
I wish for the days of the olden time,
When the hours were told by the abbey chime,
When the glorious stars looked down through the midnight dim,
Like approving saints on the choir's sweet hymn:
I think of the days we are living now
And I sigh for those of the veil and the vow.

in four verses.

The poem accompanies a plate showing Bona, which was on the coast of Algeria in an area which was notorious for pirates. Today, this is the city of Annaba.

For some reason, the last lines are missing, here they are:

⁠ Her prophecy was sooth:
No change of leaf had that green valley known,
When Eulalie lay there in her last sleep.

Peace to the weary and the beating heart,
That fed upon itself!

This poem is not by Elizabeth Barrett Browning and ought to be removed; It is by Felicia Hemans. I don't know how this error originated but it needs eradicating.
