She stood before her father’s gorgeous tent,

To listen for his coming. Her loose hair

Was resting on her shoulders, like a cloud

Floating around a statue, and the wind,

Just swaying her light robe, revealed a shape

Praxiteles might worship. She had clasped

Her hands upon her bosom, and had raised

Her beautiful, dark, Jewish eyes to heaven,

Till the long lashes laid upon her brow.

Her lip was slightly parted, like the leaves
