Book Description

Excerpt from Le Marquis De Leuville: Poems and Aelia; Illustrated; From "Entre-Nous" To Florence. Like the cushat to his nest, Like the bee to honey-cell, And the fisherman across the sands into the bonnie lee, I have made you of my best Just a rosary to tell, If you will raise my rustic beads to such a dignity. Because some came from the air, And some from lips of flowers, And many from the bosom of the wild majestic sea, And more came fleet and fair, From a Summer that was ours, And I bring them, as in olden time, to you on bended knee. Out of sorrow some have come, From the griefs of human lives; And some from aching hours they tried in vain to render sweet, - Take these as tears, - and some Like a swirl of Autumn leaves, To write your beauty down the grove beneath your little feet.
