LINES TO A LADY by BERNICE SWANSON

First Line: IF GREATER ART SHOULD MEET HIS GAZE
Last Line: MORE SWEET THAN HIS CAN EVER BE.
Subject(s): ADMIRATION; WOMEN;

If greater art should meet his gaze
His feet would falter in amaze;
So when she walks with gentle grace,
Terpsichore must hide his face.
And when she speaks, Aeolus harks
And stills the music of the harps
To list to molten melody
More sweet than his can ever be.
