“ALL THE WORDS IN ALL THE WORLD”

Richard Le Gallienne

All the flowers cannot weave A garland worthy of your hair, Not a bird in the four winds Can sing of you that is so fair.

Only the spheres can sing of you; Some planet in celestial space, Hallowed and lonely in the dawn, Shall sing the poem of your face.
