Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Verses
Villan elle is apropos For songs of love and songs of spring, And ecstasies of morning glow.
For roses red and breasts of snow And soft white arms that twine and cling, A Villanelle is apropos.
Each word and line is fashioned so, Delicate as a wedding ring, Or as a maiden's virgin glow.
Alas! That poets grosser grow For songs that bloom and ?owers that wing, A Villanelle is apropos.
