half flush that dies along her throat

there she stands as if alive
power of memory
thats my last duchess painted on the wall looking as if she were alive
the curtain i have drawn for you
she had a heart how shall i say? too glad too easily impressed
i choose never to stoop
i gave commands then all smiles stopped all together
power of art
painted on the wall looking as if she were alive
fra pandolfs hands worked busily a day
the depth and passion of its earnest glance
pain must never hope to repoduce the faint half flush that dies laong her throat
calling up the spot of joy
there she stands as if alive
power of human

since none puts by the curtain i have drown for you but i
i gave commands then all smiles stopped together
