Au Salon

A sky intensely blue, a low, white wall

Against it heaps of up-blown yellow sand,

A sleeping figure, holding in her hand

Some scarlet cactus blossom; that was all.

And yet so mellowly the sunbeams fell

Upon the sunburnt limbs, such subtle play

Of rosy light and tender shadow lay

Upon the upturned face, that all could tell

An artist painted with a poet’s eyes;

And warmly an enthusiastic glow

Ran through the groups that criticised, below

While one, who gazed with pleasure and surprise

Said, and I do not think he said amiss,

“He was her lover when he painted this!”
