The pangs of love marvelously woven in a beautiful verse that is rich in rhythm and rhyme.

The brilliant moon and all the milky sky, And all that famous harmony of leaves, Had blotted out man's image and his cry. A girl arose that had red mournful lips And seemed the greatness of the world in tears... A superb creation of poetry. I enjoyed readng it.

This poem stirred my mind and imagination with it's imagery and a stilted rhythm, not quite flowing. Good poem! RoseAnn
