THE TOMB OF A YOUNG GIRL

We still remember! The same as of yore

All that has happened once again must be.

As grows a lemon-tree upon the shore--

It was like that--your light, small breasts you bore,

And his blood's current coursed like the wild sea.

That god--

who was the wanderer, the slim

Despoiler of fair women; he--the wise,--

But sweet and glowing as your thoughts of him

Who cast a shadow over your young limb

While bending like your arched brows o'er your eyes.
