ECHOES: 27 by WILLIAM ERNEST HENLEY

Poet Analysis

First Line: SHE SAUNTERED BY THE SWINGING SEAS
Last Line: A HINT OF HIDDEN LOVELINESS.
Subject(s): LOVE;
She sauntered by the swinging seas,
A jewel glittered at her ear,
And, teasing her along, the breeze
Brought many a rounded grace more near.

So passing, one with wave and beam,
She left for memory to caress
A laughing thought, a golden gleam,
A hint of hidden loveliness.
