EVE'S BLOOD by JACQUES ANATOLE FRANCOIS THIBAULT

First Line: LOVE HIDES MANY TREASURES IN ITS DEEPS
Last Line: THE BLOOD OF THAT EVE OF THE EARLY WOODS.
Subject(s): ADAM & EVE; BIBLE; BRIDES; NATURE; NUDITY; NAKEDNESS;

Love hides many treasures in its deeps.
Nature's primordial hardihoods,
That mingled nude thighs in woodland quest,
Still modestly surge in the bride's breast:
Watchful of our conventions, she keeps
The blood of that Eve of the early woods.
