Subject(s): Statues
Bronzed by the western sun, and wind, she stood,
As firm, and strong, and sound, as seasoned wood,
Her strength, the strength of elemental things,
The fertile earth, the cool deep shadowed springs,
Long on the heights the sun's late splendor lies,
Its light, and warmth, were mirrored in her eyes,
The years, that traced their passage in her face,
Left peace, and patience, touched with dauntless grace.
