Whether her golden hair curls languidly,
Or whether it swims by, in two flowing waves
That over her breasts wander there, and stray,
And across her neck float playfully:
Whether a knot, ornamented richly,
With many a ruby, many a rounded pearl,
Ties the stream of her
rippling
curls,
My heart delights itself, contentedly.

Before the spoiler had whet his sword to mar

A cradle in day's dead leaves

Beating out word by word:
"Take love when love is given,

Only yourself can lead you
Up the hard road to heaven
