Where the virgins are soft as the roses they twine,
And all, save the spirit of man, is divine?


Canto I, stanza 1 - The Bride of Abydos (1813)


Where the virgins are soft as the roses they twine, And all, save the spirit of man, is divine?

Where the virgins are soft as the roses they twine, And all, save the spirit of man, is divine?

Where the virgins are soft as the roses they twine, And all, save the spirit of man, is divine?

Where the virgins are soft as the roses they twine, And all, save the spirit of man, is divine?
