Classic and Contemporary Poetry

QUATRAIN: MNEMOSYNE by MADISON JULIUS CAWEIN

First Line: IN CLASSIC BEAUTY, COLD, IMMACULATE
Last Line: THAT SORROW O'ER DEAD ROSES IN HER HANDS.
Subject(s): MNEMOSYNE;
In classic beauty, cold, immaculate,
A voiceful sculpture, stern and still she stands,
Upon her brow deep-chiselled love and hate,
That sorrow o'er dead roses in her hands.
