THE fair and utter grace of you,
The witchery of your glance,
The young, the lovely face of you,
Delight me when you dance.

The lithe and supple charms of you,
Softer than melted air,
The rippling, billowing arms of you—
O Lady, you are there!

Or that I end this lay of you,
Fain would I ask one thing:
I love most every way of you,
But—Lady, must you sing?
