First Line: A song of shadows: never glory was
Last Line: The shadow of thy beauty over me.
Subject(s): Beauty; Shadows
A song of shadows: never glory was
But it had some soft shadow that would lie
On wall, on quiet water, on smooth grass,
Or in the vistas of the phantasy:
The shadow of the house upon the lawn,
Upon the house the shadow of the tree,
And through the moon-steeped hours unto the dawn
The shadow of thy beauty over me.
