lyrics

She made her little work
And slept and played
Forgetful of her violent vast desire
A body beautiful, a soul at ease
Forgetful of the heights to which she rose
Swinging in her gold cradle of joy
Like one who laughs
In sweet and sunlit groves

She heard no spacious call
From her charmed abode
No wings she had for perilous flight
She faced no dangers from abyss or sky
She knew no wide or mighty dream
No yearning for a lost infinity
A perfect picture in a perfect frame
