First Line: When you speak to me
Last Line: As he feels the god stooping a bit, to touch his head.
Subject(s): Voices


When you speak to me,
Your lips are bending prayer-maidens
Saluting their slender God, your voice.
My voice is but a creeping slave
Who rattles his little bracelets
In a tremor of unspoken love,
As he feels the God stooping a bit, to touch his head.
