Explore "Shapes & Shadows" by Madison Cawein on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Serious but smiling, stately and serene, / And dreamier than a flower; / A girl in whom all sympathies convene / As perfumes in a bower; / Through whom one feels what soul and heart may mean, / And their resistless power.
Eyes, that commune with the frank skies of truth, / Where thought like starlight curls; / Lips of immortal rose, where love and youth / Nestle like two sweet pearls; / Hair, that suggests the Bible braids of RUTH, / Deeper than any girl's.
