Poetry examples for “moustache”

Excerpts from the ReadingWillow English Library collection.

When my moustache curled,
And my hair was black,

Jingled his huge brass spurs together,

His forehead, by his casque worn bare,
His thick moustache, and curly hair,
Coal-black, and grizzled here and there,
