Youth And Beauty

Title:     Youth And Beauty
Author: William Carlos Williams [More Titles by Williams]

I bought a dishmop--
having no daughter--
for they had twisted
fine ribbons of shining copper
about white twine
and made a towsled head
of it, fastened it
upon a turned ash stick
slender at the neck
straight, tall--
when tied upright
on the brass wallbracket
to be a light for me--
and naked,
as a girl should seem
to her father.

[The end]
William Carlos Williams's poem: Youth And Beauty
