| Category: Romantic Love Poems    In the Metropolitan Museum   Within the tiny Pantheon
We stood together silently,
 Leaving the restless crowd awhile
 As ships find shelter from the sea.
 
 The ancient centuries came back
 To cover us a moment's space,
 And thro' the dome the light was glad
 Because it shone upon your face.
 
 Ah, not from Rome but farther still,
 Beyond sun-smitten Salamis,
 The moment took us, till you stooped
 To find the present with a kiss.
