- Sara Teasdale

Nor a bend of the head, ... - A Song To Eleonora Duse In "francesca Da Rimini "

The heavy burning roses she touches as she stands!

That your love would never lessen and never go?
You were young then, proud and fresh-hearted,
You were too young to know. ... - To A Picture Of Eleonora Duse As "francesca Da Rimini"
Oh flower-sweet face and bended flower-like head!
Oh violet whose purple cannot pale,
Or forest fragrance ever faint or fail,
Or breath and beauty pass among the dead! ...
