Poem by Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Songs from the Turret. 11. Three things my ladye seemeth like to me

Three things my ladye seemeth like to me--
She seems like moonlight on a waveless sea.

And like the delicate fragrance, which exhales,
When Day's warm garments brush the dewy vales.

And when my heart grows weary of earth's sound,
She seems like silence--restful and profound. 

1. The Birth of the Orchid
2. The Call (All wantonly in hours of joy)
3. Be Not Attached
4. Behold the Earth
5. The Black Charger
