The Marchioness Of Brinvilliers

---

He toned the sprightly beam of morning
    With twilight meek of tender eve,
Brightness interfused with softness,
    Light and shade did weave:
And gave to candor equal place
With mystery starred in open skies;
And, floating all in sweetness, made
    Her fathomless mild eyes.
