Dante Gabriel Rossetti - For A Venetian Pastoral By Giorgione (In the Louvre)Dante Gabriel Rossetti - For A Venetian Pastoral By Giorgione (In the Louvre)
Work rating: Low


WATER, for anguish of the solstice:—nay,            But dip the vessel slowly,—nay, but lean            And hark how at its verge the wave sighs in       Reluctant. Hush! beyond all depth away       The heat lies silent at the brink of day:            Now the hand trails upon the viol-string            That sobs, and the brown faces cease to sing,       Sad with the whole of pleasure. Whither stray       Her eyes now, from whose mouth the slim pipes creep         And leave it pouting, while the shadowed grass                Is cool against her naked side? Let be:—       Say nothing now unto her lest she weep,            Nor name this ever. Be it as it was,—                Life touching lips with Immortality.
