Excerpt from In Titian’s Garden, and Other Poems
Laps the marble, and full rosy, Far withdrawn in purple heavens, Slopes of snow and horns of silver Figure shining forms that slowly Swim like giants flushed with sunset, Cloudy swells from deeps of twilight Round them tossing, lies the garden Where the Master takes his pleasure When the pencil leaves his fingers Tingling still with magic cunning, While from dome and campanile Wandering winds bring airy music, Showers of bell-tones lightly falling As the dusk falls, half caressing, Tenderly like some sof’t mantle Folding him in starry shadows.
