Excerpt from The Yellow Butterfly and Other Verses
My offering I made upon the shrine,
That thy unbending beauty should be fraught
With Love's inquietude, and Passion wrought
Therefrom, my incense burned to Venus, wine
I bathed in, and white roses' hearts I brought
To sacrifice - their soul's incarnadine,
Repeated soft Pygmalion's prayer divine,
And dreamed to see the leaping flames dear-bough,
Three fiery darts, with perfumed air combine.
Alas, for days of Cyprus, and the rites
All festive, bacchical of Grecian train!
Despairing, loving, hoping, all my nights
In adoration spent, I pray in vain -
An ivory statue cold dost Thou remain.
