For me, the naked and the nude
(By lexicographers construed
As synonyms that should express
The same deficiency of dress
Or shelter) stand as wide apart
As love from lies, or truth from art.

Historically, bathing nude
Was never in the least bit rude.
The Greeks, who cannot be construed
As ever being crass or crude,
Would swim and dive and fish for food.
Mama, Papa and all the brood
Caught crabs and eels and ate them stewed
And then, replete in festive mood
Sweet music played and maidens wooed.
No parsimonious prying prude
Quoting St Justin or St Jude
Accused the Greeks of being lewd.
That just was not the attitude.

A bather whose garments were strewed
On the beach where she sun-bathed all nude,
Saw a man come along
And unless I'm quite wrong
You expected this line to be lewd.

Full- frontal nudity … has now become accepted by every branch of the theatrical profession with the possible exception of lady accordion-players.

There was an old sculptor named Phidias
Whose knowledge of Art was invidious.
He carved Aphrodite
Without any nightie -
Which startled the purely fastidious.

Full nakedness!
All joys are due to thee,
As souls unbodied, bodies uncloth'd must be
To taste whole joys

Men have navels more or less;
Some are neat, some not
Being fat I must confess
Mine is far from hot.
Woman's is a pearly ring,
Lovely to my mind;
So of it to shyly sing
I am inclined.
I believe in nudity.
Female forms divine
Should be bared for all to see
In colour and in line.
So dear ladies, recognise
The dimpling of your waist
Has approval in my eyes,
Favour in my taste.
Darlings, please you, paint them gold,
Or some pastel hue;
Make them starry to behold,
Witching to the view.
Though I know I never should
Say such things as this:
How a rosebud navel would
Be sweet to kiss!

Parting
Has no hue
And yet
Does it run within our hearts,
This sorrow.

The year is on the wing, my love,
With tearful days and nights;
The clouds are on the wing above
With gathering swallow-flights.
The year is on the wing, my sweet,
And in the ghostly race,
With patter of unnumbered feet,
The dead leaves fly apace.
The year is on the wing, and shakes
The last rose from its tree;
And I, whose heart in parting breaks,
Must bid adieu to thee.
