On a Marble Medallion of Dante

Close-hooded as a monk;
High-cheeked as a Red Man;
High-nosed as a Hebrew;
Full-lipped as a Greek god.

The character revealed
In this bit of white stone
Is such as is not stamped
Upon a human face
Once in a thousand years.

Close-hooded as a monk;
High-cheeked as a Red Man;
High-nosed as a Hebrew;
Full-lipped as a Greek god.

The character revealed
In this bit of white stone
Is such as is not stamped
Upon a human face
Once in a thousand years.
