A metrical caprice. br br Up she rose, fair daughter--well she was graced br As a cloud her going, stept from her chair, br As a summer-soft cloud, in her going paced, br Down dropped her riband-band, and all her waving hair br Shook like loosened music cadent to her waist;-- br Lapsing like music, wavery as water, br Slid to her waist.
