Paul Laurence Dunbar - She Told Her BeadsPaul Laurence Dunbar - She Told Her Beads
Work rating: Low


She told her beads with down-cast eyes,     Within the ancient chapel dim;     And ever as her fingers slim   Slipt o`er th` insensate ivories,   My rapt soul followed, spaniel-wise.   Ah, many were the beads she wore;     But as she told them o`er and o`er,   They did not number all my sighs.   My heart was filled with unvoiced cries     And prayers and pleadings unexpressed;     But while I burned with Love`s unrest,   She told her beads with down-cast eyes.
