Excerpt from The Marble Lily and Other PoemsShaking the clouds of marble~ dust away, A youthful sculptor wanders forth alone, While twilight, rosy with the kiss of day, Glows like a wondrous ¿ower but newly blown. There lives within his deep and mystic eyes, The magic light of true and happy love, Tranquil his bosom as the undimmed skies, Smiling so gently from the depths above.All nature whispers sweet and blissful things, To that young heart, rich with emotions warm Ah, rarely happy is the song it sings, And strangely tender, is its Witching charm! He wanders to the margin of a lake, Whose placid waves lie hushed in sleeping calm, So faint the breeze, it may not bid them wake, Tho' breathing through their dreams, its odorous balm.A regal lily stands upon the shore, Dropping her dew-pearls on the mosses green, Her stately forehead, and her bosom pure, Bathed in the moonlight's pale and silver sheen.The. Sculptor gazes on the queenly ¿ower, Until his white cheek burns with_ crimson ¿ame, And his heart owns a sweet, and subtle power, Stealing like music through his weary frame.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
