Wonderful depiction of the beauty of the dead queen at her prime! Perfumed cassia sandal buds mouldering her lute and books... great sketch of the beautiful portrait of the queen with its compactness!
A mesmerizing beauty of the dead queen when she was young has been wonderfully portrayed.
The descriptive beauty of you queen dead long ago is finely depicted in this poem by Poet Robert Browning!
