Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882). Complete Poetical Works. 1893.
TranslationsFrom the Spanish. Song: She is a maid of artless grace
S
Gentle in form, and fair of face.
That sailest on the sea,
If ship, or sail, or evening star
Be half so fair as she!
Whose shining arms I see,
If steel, or sword, or battle-field
Be half so fair as she!
Beneath the shadowy tree,
If flock, or vale, or mountain-ridge
Be half so fair as she!
