A Venomous Blight

All Resolutions

In a garden where all vegetation has withered to ashen remains, a putto weeps atop a begrimed urn

And unctuous meteors from spray to spray
Crept and flitted in broad noonday
Unseen; every branch on which they alit
By a venomous blight was burned and bit.

(P. 107.)
