WARING CUNEY

She does not know Her beauty, She thinks her brown body Has no glory.

If she could dance Naked, Under palm trees. And see her image in the river She would know. But there are no palm trees On the street, And dish water gives back no images.

“No Images” - Waring Cuney

She does not know Her beauty, She thinks her brown body Has no glory.

If she could dance Naked, Under palm trees And see her image in the river She would know.

But there are no palm trees On the street, And dish water gives back no images.

No Images

Waring Cuney

She does not know Her beauty, She thinks her brown body Has no glory.

If she could dance Naked, Under palm trees And see her image in the river She would know.

But there are no palm trees On the street, And dish water gives back no images.

No Images - She does not know / Her beauty,

Dishwater does give no image at all.

[madhushaala]

She does not know Her beauty, She thinks her brown body Has no glory. If she could dance Naked, Under palm trees And see her image in the river She would know. But there are no palm trees On the street, And dish water gives back no images.

Waring Cuney, 1931
