Black Hair


Stand on the highest pavement of the stair

Lean on a garden urn

Weave, weave, weave the sunlight in your hair

Clasp your flowers to you with a pained surprise

Fling them to the ground and turn

With fugitive resentment in your eyes:

But weave, weave the sunlight in your hair.

(from "La Figlia Che Piange" by T.S. Elliot)
