Delight In Disorder

________________________________________________
Title:     Delight In Disorder
Author: (Poet) Robert Herrick [More Titles by Herrick]

A sweet disorder in the dress
Kindles in clothes a wantonness;
A lawn about the shoulders thrown
Into a fine distraction;
An erring lace, which here and there
Enthrals the crimson stomacher;
A cuff neglectful, and thereby
Ribbons to flow confusedly;
A winning wave, deserving note,
In the tempestuous petticoat;
A careless shoe-string, in whose tie
I see a wild civility;--
Do more bewitch me, than when art
Is too precise in every part.

[The end]
(Poet) Robert Herrick's poem: Delight In Disorder
