She made of the motions of her wrist She made of the motions of her wrist The grandiose gestures The grandiose gestures Of her thought. Of her thought. The rumpling of the plumes The rumpling of the plumes Of this creature of the evening Of this creature of the evening Came to be sleights of sails Came to be sleights of sails Over the sea. Over the sea. And thus she roamed And thus she roamed In the roamings of her fan, In the roamings of her fan, Partaking of the sea, Partaking of the sea, And of the evening, And of the evening, As they flowed around As they flowed around And uttered their subsiding sound. And uttered their subsiding sound. |
