THE sky and sea glared hard and bright and blank:
Down the one steep street, with slow steps firm and free
A tall girl paced, with eyes too proud to thank
The sky and sea.
One dead flat sapphire, void of wrath or glee,
Through bay on bay shone blind from bank to bank
The weary Mediterranean, drear to see.
More deep, more living, shone her eyes that drank
The breathless light and shed again on me,
Till pale before their splendor waned and shrank
The sky and sea.
