Book Condition: Very Good; light shelfwear to head, tail, and tips; most of gilt edging on boards has flaked off. No DJ. Pictorial (Maude Humphrey portrait with purple violets) heavy card stock boards with brown leather spine; gray and gilt lettering on the front board. Gilt textblock edges. Clean internals. Interior hinges are sound and not split. Unpaginated (32 pp by count) 8vo. This is a retelling in book form with beautiful engraved illustrations on most every page. The setting of the poem is in a garden. As the speaker waits for his beloved, his passions and desires are unleashed and the various elements of nature are sympathizing with his passionate wait. The setting of the poem is made yet more appreciative by the use of poetic devices and lyrical imagery. The beauty is magnified by the implication of deeper significance of the Language of Flowers that are brought forth by the poem itself. The breeze of morning, the 'daffodil' sky, the music and dance in the ball being silenced by the setting moon are wonderfully weaved imageries that excites our senses. The element of sensuality also has a significant effect throughout the poem by the use of terms like 'planet of Love' or 'violets blue of your eyes'. A clean very presentable copy.
