Venus Transiens
Tell me,
Was Venus more beautiful
Than you are,
When she topped
The crinkled waves,
Drifting shoreward
On her plaited shell?

Fairer than mine;

To cover your too great loveliness
As with a gauze
Of misted silver?

In the blue and buoyant air,
Cinctured by bright winds,
Treading the sunlight.

Ripple and stir
The sands at my feet. — Amy Lowell
