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.
