BARE FEET.

O fair white feet! O dawn-white feet
Of Her my hope may claim!
Bare-footed through the dew she came,
Her Love to meet.
Star-glancing feet, the windflowers sweet
Might envy, without shame,
As through the grass they lightly came,
Her Love to meet.
O Maiden sweet, with flower-kiss'd feet!
My heart your footstool name!
Bare-footed through the dew she came,
Her Love to meet.
