Scarlet lower lip,
Still
In the rose
Of night.
(Fresh breeze rustling through her hair,
Fresh breeze for my eyes.)
Kind
Hand
Like a robin
Over a face
Of Earth.
The deep wells
Of her eyes
Will close.
The burning arrow
Shall open
The quivering target.
(Fresh breeze rustling through her hair,
Fresh breeze for my eyes.)
