Gaston de Blondeville, or The court of Henry III | ||

XXVIII.
Not then this beauteous screen appearedTo hide the bier the pilgrim sought,
And cause the object of his thought
To be more tremblingly revered;
But veil of silk, or cloth of gold,
Hung high and broad in sweeping fold,
On days of chief solemnity.
There only this night might you see
A mourning drapery, like a pall,
With ample grace sweep from the wall,
In solemn memory of the dead,
And half conceal the Martyr's bed;
And seem, like evening-cloud, to throw
Its darkness o'er day's gorgeous brow.
Gaston de Blondeville, or The court of Henry III | ||
