SONGS OF THE SEA CHILDREN: 35 by BLISS CARMAN

First Line: EYES LIKE SUMMER AFTER SUNDOWN
Last Line: WHEN THE WIND IS GONE.
Subject(s): BEAUTY;

Eyes like summer after sundown,
Hands like roses after dew,
Lyric as a blown rose garden
The wind wanders through.
Swelling breasts that bud to crimson,
Hair like cobwebs after dawn,
And the rosy mouth wind-rifled
When the wind is gone.
