MUTATIS MUTANDIS, by LESLIE PINCKNEY HILL First Line: When my lady goeth fairly Last Line: She is lovelier than ever. | |||
When my lady goeth fairly, And her countenance is rarely Lighted by the things that please her, Mien and happy mood according Are themselves the sweet rewarding Of the kindling eye that sees her. But when her course is out of measure, Or some stirring of displeasure Tints her cheeks with hues that never Fell on canvas, when from darkling, Troubled brows her eyes are sparkling, She is lovelier than ever. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TUSKEGEE by LESLIE PINCKNEY HILL OFFERING by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON THE OTHER WORLD by HARRIET BEECHER STOWE CRADLE SONG (TO A TUNE OF BLAKE'S): 1 by ALGERNON CHARLES SWINBURNE OUR MASTER by JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER THE WINDS OF FATE by ELLA WHEELER WILCOX DEATH AND THE LADY; THEIR BARGAIN TOLD AGAIN by LEONIE ADAMS |
