The smiling mouth and laughing eyen gray, The breastes round and long small armes twain, The handes smooth, the sides straight and plain, Your feetes lit -- what should I further say? It is my craft when ye are far away To muse thereon in stinting of my pain -- The smiling mouth and laughing eyen gray, The breastes round and long small armes twain. So would I pray you, if I durst or may, The sight to see as I have seen, Forwhy that craft me is most fain, And will be to the hour in which I day -- The smiling mouth and laughing eyen gray, The breastes round and long small armes twain. | Other Poems of Interest...GOD IS AN AMERICAN by TERRANCE HAYES VARIATIONS: 14 by CONRAD AIKEN DIVINELY SUPERFLUOUS BEAUTY by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE BEAUTY OF THINGS by ROBINSON JEFFERS HOPE IS NOT FOR THE WISE by ROBINSON JEFFERS LIFE FROM THE LIFELESS by ROBINSON JEFFERS REARMAMENT by ROBINSON JEFFERS SHANE ONEILLS CAIRN by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE IMPOSSIBLE INDISPENSIBILITY OF THE ARS POETICA by HAYDEN CARRUTH |
