Song For The Passing Of A Beautiful Woman Poem by Mary Austin

Song For The Passing Of A Beautiful Woman



[From the Paiute]


GO thy way in comeliness!
Strong sun across the sod doth make
Such quickening as thy countenance.

Pursue thy unguessed errand and pass by;
I am more worth for what thy passing wakes,
Great races in my loins to thee that cry!
My blood is redder for thy loveliness.
Prosper; be fair; pass by!
