Love
Veneta
From Poems (1908)
Love
Wind and waters ring the bells
That rang for them of high degree
Trumpets are the sounding shells
In the city under the sea.
Where a Queen was wont to hide
Her outwearied majesty,
Swim the fishes open-eyed
In the city under the sea.
Many a street lies broad and fair,
Many a palace fair and free,
Neither a man nor woman there,
In the city under the sea.
