NUDE, by                    
First Line: From what mysterious seas
Last Line: The likeness of a girl.


From what mysterious seas,
What iridescent shell,
Did diving men release
This rounded miracle.
Those waters are deviceless now;
Reft of that pearl;
And I have what is priceless now,
The likeness of a girl.
