She blushed to look, but blushing looked again ; As maidens to their mirrors oft return AVith bashful boldness once again to gaze Upon the crystal page that renders back Themselves unto themselves, until their eyes Confess their love for their own loveliness. Her rounded cheeks, in each of which had grown, With sudden blossoming, a fresh red rose, She hid an instant in her dimpled hands ; Then met her pink palms up above her head. And whelmed her white shape in the welcoming wave. Around each l...ithesome limb the waters twined, And with their lucent raiment robed her form ; And as her hesitating bosom sunk To the caresses of bewildered waves, They foamy pearls from their own foreheads gave THE BATHER. 135 For her fair brow, and showered in her hair The evanescent diamonds of the deep. Thus dallying with the circumfluent tide, Her loveliness half hidden, half revealed, An Undine with a soul, she plunged and rose ; Whilst the white graces of her rounded arms She braided with the blue of wandering waves, And saw the shoulders of the billows }-ield Before the even strokes of her small hands, And laughed to see, and held her crimson mouth Above the crest of each advancing surge, Like a red blossom pendent o er a pool, Till, done with the invigorating pla}*, Once more she gained the bank, and once again Saw her twin image in the waters born.
