[bodytext] => Where her toes are Is more than suns; From her ankle to her knee Is every star’s splendor; Her thighs Have more of grace than waters passing, With force of spring, In soft music over smooth stones The skin which sheathes her womb Where may come forth Others of her, such that earth May never be void of hope; These breasts Are subtle, round as oceans, Soft as calm waves washing shores; In her shoulder there is more of flight Than winging doves, Nor can her back be other Than all good music Ever a human formed With winds and fingers; This between her shoulder and elbow Is life’s chalice: A hearth for every heart; These fingers, this forearm Are as the breeze Touched of summer’s essence - Gives warmth of sensation To every nerve of skin; Her hair lying just so Makes of doomed enclosures Of every human condition One doorway Where soft whispering Of all angels is relief To every dent of soul; These cheeks that guard her mouth Are more than every halo forged - More blest than every echelon to be So near of lips far richer Than every fruit a seed brings forth in spring; Of eyes what can one speak? For these touch with least veil Her soul, Therefore As one goes blind with looking Too longingly at the sun So mere speaking of What show of her most truly Can only sear the tongue And melt the words that seek, In ambition of description, To hold the source of light; And all of this is merged Into one being, As the wise of different schools Have made of all the universe The metaphysics of One - So is she singular Of all the graces lingering In stars And breezes In roses, And the Lilies, As one water where all rivers meet, As one expression Of every good That touches earth And sheds the transubstantial light On everything that is.
