english thoughts

true love leads to
sight transcending
prior states of heart

She

her soul is poetry

posies and paint

her eyes are the laughter

and hope of the sea

her hair finds the sunlight

in all the moon's dreams

her life leads the jonquils

to spring fresh with joy

her heart makes delightful

the bluebirds in may

the cardinals sing when she

passes their way

in the strictest of times

she will smile for spite

of the darkness of life

in the still of the night

in abundance of pleasures

she temperate grows

for past undergoings

have taught her "go slow"

she smiles at the future

and sings from the past

the love songs of ages

til laughter will last.
