WHO KNOWS?

Oh starry tangled hair,
How shall I speak of you?
A joy, or a despair,
Or wedding of the two?
Who knows?
Oh starry tangled hair,
How shall I speak of you?
Hearts madden at the sight,
And ache with bursting tears,
For pain, or for delight,
Regrets, or hopes, or fears?
Who knows?
Hearts madden at the sight,
And ache with bursting tears.
