"Like a maiden's head so deathly still,
Cold and quiet, yet not ill.
Her long tresses, skyward lie,
Hair that burns when it is dry.
Food to man and creature's lair,
Name both her and her hair."

speedymcg Nov 11, 2003	if you look up "maidenhead" itz actually inappropriate....
mad-ade Nov 12, 2003	That is probably why it says "Maiden's head" and not "Maidenhead"
