Classic Poem

List! her feet are at your door;
Her sandals shine with evening dew;
How late she is! but now, once more,
She turns her radiant eyes on you.
For long delay she makes amend;
Rare scarlet blooms around you fall,
And glad new songs to Heaven ascend,
For earth is glorious, after all!

She turns her radiant eyes on you.
For long delay she makes amend;
Rare scarlet blooms around you fall,
And glad new songs to Heaven ascend,
For earth is glorious, after all!
