CHOSE VUE; A METRICAL CAPRICE by FRANCIS THOMPSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: UP SHE ROSE, FAIR DAUGHTER - WELL SHE WAS GRACED
Last Line: SLID TO HER WAIST.

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.
