A poem by William Carlos Williams

From "The Birth Of Venus," Song

________________________________________________
Title:     From "The Birth Of Venus," Song
Author: William Carlos Williams [More Titles by Williams]

Come with us and play!
See, we have breasts as women!
From your tents by the sea
Come play with us: it is forbidden!

Come with us and play!
Lo, bare, straight legs in the water!
By our boats we stay,
Then swimming away
Come to us: it is forbidden!

Come with us and play!
See, we are tall as women!
Our eyes are keen:
Our hair is bright:
Our voices speak outright:
We revel in the sea's green!
Come play:
It is forbidden!


[The end]
William Carlos Williams's poem: From "The Birth Of Venus," Song
