English poem
Rapunzel
by Adelaide Crapsey (1878–1914)
All day, all day I brush My golden strands of hair; All day I wait and wait. . . . Ah, who is there?
Who calls? Who calls? The gold Ladder of my long hair I loose and wait. . . . and wait. . . . Ah, who is there?
She left at dawn. . . . I am blind In the tangle of my long hair. . . . Is it she? the witch? the witch? Ah, who is there?
