She stood, to dream a moment in the street, And dreaming, saw a starlit balcony, Where milk-white petals fell beneath her feet, And minstrels sang a vibrant melody. In lovely gown, with pearls against her throat, She waited for her love to warm her sight; A near cathedral struck a soft bell-note, That echoed sweetly on the summer night. She saw him coming, straight he was, and tall, With eager eyes, and hair as black as jet; Swiftly, he climbed the moon-swept garden wall, As Romeo would climb to Juliet. She sighed, and turning on her way, she went To meet her lover in the tenement. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PROSIT NEUJAHR by GEORGE SANTAYANA FACADE: 22.
