THE SLEEPING BEAUTY _{A feature}

This journal is also a news article


I.

Year after year unto her feet,
She lying on her couch alone,
Across the purple coverlet,
The maiden’s jet-black hair has grown,
On either side her tranced form






Forth streaming from a braid of pearl:
The slumberous light is rich and warm,
And moves not on the rounded curl.





II.

The silk star-broidered coverlid
Unto her limbs itself doth mould
Languidly ever; and, amid
Her full black ringlets downward rolled,
Glows forth each softly-shadowed arm




With bracelets of the diamond bright:
Her constant beauty doth inform
Stillness with love, and day with light.




III.

She sleeps: her breathings are not heard
In palace chambers far apart.
The fragrant tresses are not stirred
That lie upon her charmed heart.





She sleeps: on either hand upswells
The gold-fringed pillow lightly pressed:
She sleeps, nor dreams, but ever dwells
A perfect form in perfect rest.
