<h2><SPAN name="EVES_DAUGHTER" id="EVES_DAUGHTER"></SPAN>EVE'S DAUGHTER</h2>
<h3>BY EDWARD ROWLAND SILL</h3>
<p><span style="margin-left: 1em;">I waited in the little sunny room:</span><br/>
<span style="margin-left: 1em;">The cool breeze waved the window-lace, at play,</span><br/>
<span style="margin-left: 1em;">The white rose on the porch was all in bloom,</span><br/>
<span style="margin-left: 2em;">And out upon the bay</span><br/>
<span style="margin-left: 1em;">I watched the wheeling sea-birds go and come.</span><br/>
<span style="margin-left: 1em;">"Such an old friend,—she would not make me stay</span><br/>
<span style="margin-left: 1em;">While she bound up her hair." I turned, and lo,</span><br/>
<span style="margin-left: 1em;">Danaë in her shower! and fit to slay</span><br/>
<span style="margin-left: 2em;">All a man's hoarded prudence at a blow:</span><br/>
<span style="margin-left: 1em;">Gold hair that streamed away</span><br/>
<span style="margin-left: 1em;">As round some nymph a sunlit fountain's flow.</span><br/>
<span style="margin-left: 1em;">"She would not make me wait!"—but well I know</span><br/>
<span style="margin-left: 1em;">She took a good half-hour to loose and lay</span><br/>
<span style="margin-left: 1em;">Those locks in dazzling disarrangement so!</span><br/>
