Product Description

Excerpt from Footsteps of Proserpine: And Other Verses and Interludes

There, by the river edge I know an arbour there, Latticed with silver sedge Woven with eglatere Comes not a keel to that cove; Rarely the strand is wet, Rarely a sound perturbs Love in that arboret; Only the willow herbs, Red as the lips of my love.
