LOVE-SONG by Emma Lazarus

LOVE-SONG 
by Emma Lazarus


"See'st thou o'er my shoulders falling,

Snake-like ringlets waving free?

Have no fear, for they are twisted

To allure thee unto me."


Thus she spake, the gentle dove,

Listen to thy plighted love:--

"Ah, how long I wait, until

Sweetheart cometh back (she said)

Laying his caressing hand

Underneath my burning head."
