IX

by Elizabeth Barrett Browning · (no date)
Published 01/07/1880
Part of Hector in the Garden

Eyes of gentianellas azure,

      Staring; winking at the skies;

      Nose of gillyflowers and box;

      Scented grasses, put for locks—

Which a little breeze, at pleasure,

      Set a-waving round his eyes.
