Excerpt from A Roman Legend and Other Poems Hour by hour, with skillful pencil, wrought the artist, sad and lone. Day by day, he labored nobly, though to all the world unknown. He was brave, the youthful artist, but his soul grew weak and faint, As he strove to place before him, the fair features of a saint. Worn and weary, he strove vainly, for the touch of Heavenly grace. Till one day, a radiant sunbeam fell upon the upturned face, And the very air was flooded with a presence strangely sweet. For the soul, within the sunbeam, seemed to make the work complete. Swift as thought, the artist's pencil deftly touched the features fair. Night came down, but one bright sunbeam left its soul imprisoned there. And around his dingy garret, gazed the artist, wondering. For the work sublime illumed it, like the palace of a king. And within the artist nature, flamed his first fond love divine. Which bewildered all his senses, as with rare, old, ruby wine, Yearningly, he cried, "I love thee, " to the radiant, saintly face, But the never-ceasing answer was a look of Heavenly grace.
