Excerpt from Cassia: And Other Verse

Should Love and Life forget their chiefest dread, A cypress threw the Shadow of the Dead.

Close by, among some laurels, one might hear A slender stream descend, yet scarce might see. Its crystal laughters parted lips austere, And mocked its stony - browed Melpomene. Its every drop might well have been a tear, Yet from those lips it fell in truant glee, To play at Lethe in a pagan tomb, Carved with relief of Iphianassa's doom.
