OW beautiful are the bodies of men- Their hearts beat deep as a brazen gong Their arms are lithe as a seasoned thong In games or tests When they run or box or swim the long Sea-wave crests With their slender legs, and their hips so strong, And their rounded chests. I know a youth who raises his arms Over his head. He laughs and stretches and flouts alarms Of flood or fire. |
