The maiden’s jet-black hair has grown.

On either side her tranced form

Forth streaming from a braid of pearl:

The slumbrous light is rich and warm,

And moves not on the rounded curl.

The silk star-broider’d coverlid

Unto her limbs itself doth mould

Languidly ever; and, amid

The full black ringlets downward roll’d,

Glows forth each softly-shadow’d arm
