Her hair is a sea of golden waves

Love’s beauteous temple wall that laves,

Rippling o’er two rosy shells

Wherein the soul of music dwells,

To break in hyacinthine curl

Caressing the base of purest pearl.

Her eyes, twin mountain pools that lie

Reflecting back the summer sky,

A fringe of graceful poplars there

Sway softly in the amorous air.
