Amy Lowell - Venus Transiens
Work rating: Medium

Tell me, 
Was Venus more beautiful 
Than you are, 
When she topped 
The crinkled waves, 
Drifting shoreward 
On her plaited shell? 
Was Botticelli`s vision 
Fairer than mine; 
And were the painted rosebuds 
He tossed his lady, 
Of better worth 
Than the words I blow about you 
To cover your too great loveliness 
As with a gauze 
Of misted silver? 
For me 
You stand poised 
In the blue and buoyant air, 
Cinctured by bright winds, 
Treading the sunlight. 
And the waves which precede you 
Ripple and stir 
The sands at my feet.
