Silently Shes Combing

Silently she's combing,

Combing her long hair Silently and graciously,

With many a pretty air.

The sun is in the willow leaves And on the dappled grass,

And still she's combing her long hair Before the looking-glass.

I pray you, cease to comb out,

Comb out your long hair,

For I have heard of witchery Under a pretty air,

That makes as one thing to the lover Staying and going hence,

All fair, with many a pretty air And many a negligence.
