MEDIEVAL NORMAN SONG: 1, by ANONYMOUS First Line: "fair is her body, bright her eye" Last Line: Giveth to lovers all great joy Subject(s): Beauty | ||||||||
FAIR is her body, bright her eye, With smiles her mouth is kind to me; Then, think no evil, this is she Whom God hath made my only joy. Between the earth and heaven high There is no maid so fair as she; The beauty of her sweet body Doth ever fill my heart with joy. He is a knave, nor do I lie, Who loveth her not heartily; The grace that shines from her body Giveth to lovers all great joy. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...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 TIS A LITTLE JOURNEY by ANONYMOUS |
