THE Beauty that must me delight, Must have a skin and teeth snow white: Black arched brows, black sprightly eyes, And a black beauty 'twixt her th- -ghs; Soft blushing cheeks, a person tall, Long hair, long hands, and fingers small; Short teeth; and feet that little are, Dilated brows, and haunches fair: Fine silken hair, lips full, and red, Small nose, with little breast and head: All these in one, and that one kind Would make a Mistress to my mind. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MONADNOCK IN EARLY SPRING by AMY LOWELL ESSAY: AT NIGHT THE AUTOPORTRAIT AT NIGHT by ELENI SIKELIANOS THE GREAT LOVER by RUPERT BROOKE THE CENTENARIAN'S STORY by WALT WHITMAN WHEN I PERUSE THE CONQUER'D FAME by WALT WHITMAN |
