The Irresolute Poet
The sunshine lingered In her eyes
And glinted through her hair.
Bhe wasn't witty, no. nor wise.
But she was wondrous fair.
I loved the ground beneath her shoe-
She wore a slender three
But, ah. I'd not the courage true
To ask If she loved me!
Full twenty years have passed away
In poetry that's a score
I meet her nearly every day
And love her more and mi-re. '
Her hair li not n sum- er..vn.
Her hetivy sirri ivsoiiihI.",
But she'a u million salted flvvca-
