Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Ione, and Other Poems
Her beauty was of earth as roses are Mortal, but nothing that might lead astray The glory of her eyes held sovereign sway, But blasted none, like some bright, evil star. A splendid pride was softened in her mien She bended as the stately lily bends When silver dew upon the field descends And bows that flower low, but not to stain.
