Explore "Her Face and Brow" by James Whitcomb Riley on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Ah, help me! but her face and brow / Are lovelier than lilies are / Beneath the light of moon and star / That smile as they are smiling now -- / White lilies in a pallid swoon / Of sweetest white beneath the moon -- / White lilies, in a flood of bright / Pure lucidness of liquid light / Cascading down some plenilune, / When all the azure overhead / Blooms like a dazzling daisy-bed. -- / So luminous her face and brow, / The luster of their glory, shed / In memory, even, blinds me now.
