The full bloom contour of your form fulfills
The work nature wrought with such loving care
In those star touched eyu; the sheen of your hair;
In the stow rising swell of those white capped bill-.
The song of the wind she gave you for voice.
The smile of the sun on an April day.
The calm of the moon tho aloof yet gay.
And then nature done, sat back to rejoice.
But, all is not well, your beauty’s unuaed.
You keep to yourself that which u nM yaars

And the mold refrains fro* doing her chore«.
