Harriet Monroe - In The LouvreHarriet Monroe - In The Louvre
Work rating: Low


Queen Karomana, slim you stand, In bronze with little flecks of gold— Queen Karomana. O royal lady, lift your hand, Shatter the stone museum cold, Queen Karomana. The wide Nile sleeps, the desert stings With color. Shake your tresses free, Queen Karomana ! The sleepy lotus shines and swings— Loose your bound limbs and sail with me In a smooth shallop to the sea, Queen Karomana! Queen Karomana, still so mute, So delicate, yet cold as snow, Queen Karomana? An ice-wind, boldly resolute, Rippled your thin robe long ago, And froze you into bronze—I know— But left your garment`s flecks of gold And the slim grace men loved of old, Queen Karomana!
