“Chose Vue” by Francis Thompson 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (16 Dec 185913 Nov 1907)
A Metrical Caprice
UP she rose, fair daughter—well she was graced
As a cloud her going, stept from her chair,
As a summer-soft cloud, in her going paced,
Down dropped her riband-band, and all her waving hair
Shook like loosened music cadent to her waist;—
Lapsing like music, wavery as water,
Slid to her waist.
