She Sauntered By The Swinging Seas

________________________________________________
Title:     She Sauntered By The Swinging Seas
Author: William Ernest Henley [More Titles by Henley]

She sauntered by the swinging seas,
A jewel glittered at her ear,
And, teasing her along, the breeze
Brought many a rounded grace more near.

So passing, one with wave and beam,
She left for memory to caress
A laughing thought, a golden gleam,
A hint of hidden loveliness.

1876
