ALABASTER¹

Like this alabaster box whose art Is frail² as a cassia-flower, is my heart, Carven with delicate dreams and wrought³ With many a subtle and exquisite⁴ thought.

Therein I treasure the spice and scent⁵ Of rich and passionate⁶ memories blent Like odours of cinnamon, sandal and clove⁷, Of song and sorrow and life and love.
