I recall thy white gown, cinctured

Explore "I recall thy white gown, cinctured" by Bliss Carman on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.

I recall thy white gown, cinctured / With a linen belt, whereon / Violets were wrought, and scented / With strange perfumes out of Egypt.

And I know thy foot was covered / With fair Lydian broidered straps; / And the petals from a rose-tree / Fell within the marble basin.
