SHE WEARS HER BODY LIKE A VEIL by FREDERICK WILLIAM HENRY MYERS

Last Line: The unguessed infinity of joy!
Subject(s): LOVE;

She wears her body like a veil.
And very life is shining through;
Her voice comes ringing on a gale
Of spirit-passion wild and new;
O soul without a mate or name.
Divine and mortal, maid and boy,
Shine out, and with a cry proclaim
The unguessed infinity of joy!
