A NUBIAN FACE ON THE NILE by CINCINNATUS HEINE MILLER

Poet Analysis

First Line: ONE NIGHT WE TOUCHED THE LILY SHORE
Last Line: HALF VEXED THAT I SAW AUGHT AT ALL.

One night we touched the lily shore,
And then passed on, in night indeed,
Against the far white waterfall.
I saw no more, shall know no more
Of her for aye. And you who read
This broken bit of dream will smile,
Half vexed that I saw aught at all.
