| | From “The Harp”
I WILL dance and wrap myself with drooping veils about me, | |
| Turquoise blue and green and blowing amber. | |
| How their pale, their weightless touch | |
| Will be delight upon me, | |
| Their dusky colors melting and returning. | 5 |
| I will raise them before me, | |
| I will let them fall from me; | |
| Every swaying movement | |
| Sways them and curves them, | |
| Every swaying movement | 10 |
| Sways them and folds them— | |
| Dropping about me, | |
| Down from my shoulders over my fingers; | |
| Laying their touch over my fingers, | |
| Over my feet drooping and dropping with grace upon me. | 15 |
| |
| Flowing of color, flowing of shadow, flowing of motion, | |
| Flowing upon me, flowing from me— | |
| O sliding shadow, sliding color, veils of motion! | | | | |
|
