TO MARNA.
So memory and imagination bring Their beauty to my dreams — for some I knew, And some I guessed at, looking at the blue Of the elusive sea and wondering. Dear women with vain beauty vanishing,To the end of the trail / Richard Hovey [electronic text]

I hold them for a moment in my view And try if I may catch some little clew To understand their mystery as I sing. Dear women loved in fancy or indeed, Dear loves and loves of dreams, I set them there To find one note of all they echo of; —But of such easel hours take thou no heed, No, though I stripped their flushing spirits bare. My models they, but only thou my love.
August, 1898.
