Using indelible colors,

Seeress and siren and saint.

Banished them all to the brook brims,

There in benign ambuscade,

Taught them the art of portraying

Beauty that never may fade.

Voiced she the values of the shadows

Moored to the moss-mantled crags;

Primed them to pose by the dwarf palms

And mid the cat-tails and flags.
