  • Artist Info: o s c a r w i l d e :: madonna mia<br />
    <br />
    A lily-girl, not made for this world's pain,<br />
    With brown, soft hair close braided by her ears,<br />
    And longing eyes half veiled by slumberous tears<br />
    Like bluest water seen through mists of rain:<br />
    Pale cheeks whereon no love hath left its stain,<br />
    Red underlip drawn in for fear of love,<br />
    And white throat, whiter than the silvered dove,<br />
    Through whose wan marble creeps one purple vein.<br />
    <br />
    Yet, though my lips shall praise her without cease,<br />
    Even to kiss her feet I am not bold,<br />
    Being o'ershadowed by the wings of awe,<br />
    Like Dante, when he stood with Beatrice<br />
    Beneath the flaming Lion's breast, and saw<br />
    The seventh Crystal, and the Stair of Gold.
