A MEMORY.
The gray cathedral towers Against the quiet sky ; About its turrets far and faint The jackdaws call and fly. The placid precinct doses, And through low lindens nigh, All steeped in the mellow afternoon The canon's niece goes by. Her hair is aureole yellow, And grave and blue her eye, The choir chants drowsy from within, The organs hums reply ; She moves and smiles sedately, My brow is flushed and shy ; The painted Burgess o'er her stall Knows well the reason why ! — Magazine of Art.
