a roundel, a form created by Algernon Charles Swinburne...


Undine

An undine's risen from the sedge,
She's dripping wet while her huge eyes
Send me a lover's solemn pledge
Below these skies.

A pretty girl from Paradise,
She vaults with grace the nearby hedge,
Shakes out her hair this lovely prize.

I stand here by the water's edge,
The morning mist begins to rise,
And I will love her, I allege,
Below these skies.
