<div class="poem"><div class="stanza">
<span class="i0">The bubbled blue of morning-glory spires,<br/></span>
<span class="i1">Balloon-blown foam of moonflowers, and sweet snows<br/></span>
<span class="i1">Of clematis, through which September goes,<br/></span>
<span class="i0">Song-hearted, rich in realized desires,<br/></span>
<span class="i0">Are flanked by hotter hues: by tawny fires<br/></span>
<span class="i1">Of acrid marigolds,—that light long rows<br/></span>
<span class="i1">Of lamps,—and salvias, red as day's red close,—<br/></span>
<span class="i0">That torches seem,—by which the Month attires<br/></span>
<span class="i0">Barbaric beauty; like some Asian queen,<br/></span>
<span class="i1">Towering imperial in her two-fold crown<br/></span>
<span class="i1">Of harvest and of vintage; all her form<br/></span>
<span class="i0">Majestic gold and purple: in her mien<br/></span>
<span class="i1">The might of motherhood; her baby brown,<br/></span>
<span class="i1">Abundance, high on one exultant arm.<br/></span></div>
