Her life is a revolving dream Of languid and sequestered ease;
Her girdles and her fillets gleam
Like changing fires on sunset seas;
Her raiment is like morning mist,
Shot opal, gold and amethyst.

From thieving light of eyes impure,
From coveting sun or wind's caress,
Her days are guarded and secure
Behind her carven lattices,
Like jewels in a turbaned crest,
Like secrets in a lover's breast.

But though no hand unsanctioned dares
Unveil the mysteries of her grace,
Time lifts the curtain unawares,
And Sorrow looks into her face . . .
Who shall prevent the subtle years,
Or shield a woman's eyes from tears?

What is the speaker’s view of the custom of seclusion?

It is necessary to protect women from the ravages of time.

It oppresses women and leaves them powerless and lonely.

It is a relic from an ancient people that should be studied.

It celebrates the natural beauty and power of women.
