AESTHETICS, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Your slender throat
Last Line: In sudden slantings through the vale.
Alternate Author Name(s): Lanham, C. T.
Subject(s): Admiration; Beauty


Your slender throat
Is smoother than the ivory crucifix you wear,
Is whiter than the moonflower in your midnight hair.
Your throat is molded snow, Perfect . . . pale.
Tomorrow I shall hide you from the sun.
Tomorrow I shall watch the swallows come and go
In sudden slantings through the vale.
