Thine is the tranquil hour, Purpureal Eve!
"The Lights and Shadows of Real Life"
T.S. Arthur Edition: 10 Language: English
And when the child bends to the red leafs tip, Her laughing nostril, and her carmine lip, The royal flower Purpureal, kissing there, Hides more than half that young face bright and fair, So that the eye deceived can scarcely speak Where shows the rose, or where the rose-red cheek.
