Subject(s): Beauty


Oh, is there no rest from beauty's caress?
A myriad suns have gone down in the west
But the light in a woman's hair grows not dim.
Oh, where is the end to this dear distress?
Hair, know you not that our hearts are worn,
That for eons they have labored without rest
To sing to your tresses a fitting hymn
That, speaking the magic, a peace be born
And the worshiper win to an easy breast?
