The tremor of white hands, the ashy gleam

Of noble brows, and thou dost startle Love's

Young dream into a dying swoon, and strew

A flowery sadness on some new-made grave.


From "DE PROFUNDIS"

I HEAR the wondrous lyre

Of the blind bard, and see the Grecian throng

About Troy's lofty walls, and Hector slain,

The white-stained face and blackened crest,
