WHEN thy beauty appears In its graces and airs All bright as an angel new dropped from the sky, At distance I gaze, and am awed by my fears, So strangely you dazzle my eye! But when without art, Your kind thoughts you impart, When your love runs in blushes through every vein; When it darts from your eyes, when it pants in your heart, Then I know you're a woman again. There's a passion and pride In our sex (she replied), And thus, might I gratify both, I would do; Still an angel appear to each lover beside, But still be a woman to you! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...RESCUE by JEAN STARR UNTERMEYER THE FORCE OF LOVE by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES GOD'S WORLD by EDNA ST.
