I knew a woman, lovely in her bones,

When small birds sighed, she would sigh back at them;

Ah, when she moved, she moved more ways than one:

The shapes a bright container can contain!

Of her choice virtues only gods should speak,

Or English poets who grew up on Greek

(I'd have them sing in chorus, cheek to cheek).

Which excerpt best illustrates a contemplative mood?

"I'd have them sing in chorus,"

"Ah, when she moved, she moved more ways than one:"

"The shapes a bright container can contain!"

"lovely in her bones,"
