Mary Darby Robinson - Sonnet XII: Now, O`er the Tesselated PavementMary Darby Robinson - Sonnet XII: Now, O`er the Tesselated Pavement
Work rating: Low


Now, o`er the tessellated pavement strew Fresh saffron, steep`d in essence of the rose, While down yon agate column gently flows A glitt`ring streamlet of ambrosial dew! My Phaon smiles! the rich carnation`s hue, On his flush`d cheek in conscious lustre glows, While o`er his breast enamour`d Venus throws Her starry mantle of celestial blue! Breathe soft, ye dulcet flutes, among the trees Where clust`ring boughs with golden citron twine; While slow vibrations, dying on the breeze, Shall soothe his soul with harmony divine! Then let my form his yielding fancy seize, And all his fondest wishes, blend with mine.
