Incredibly perfect meter and rhyme of course by the master. But this is more of a novel, isn't it PH?
Riding on a horse, Oscar Wilde noted short story writer, describing the beauty of Nature on the way as in his poem reaches a place where Ravenna stands as a ruined castle, where the old King after winning all the battles rest under the care of his daughter.

This is a long beautiful classical poetry to read by Oscar Wilde!
