The Garden of Years and Other Poems…
(1896)

And a flush like a dew-dipped rose has dyed the pool, He has laid his cheek to the ripples cool; Brow touches brow, lips lips, and his eyes of violet roam Down through the crystal depths. In the darkening dome The stars shine forth from their faint, far ways, Trimming their lamps ”
