A WOMAN'S SHORT COMINGS
SHE HAS LAUGHED AS SOFTLY AS IF SHE SIGHEDSHE HAS COUNTED SIX AND OVER,
OF A PURSE WELL FILLED, AND A HEART WELL TRIED OH EACH A WORTHY LOVER!
THEY "GIVE HER TIME", FOR HER SOUL MUST SLIP
WHERE THE WORLD HAS SET THE GROOVING;
SHE WILL LIE TO NONE WITH HER FAIR RED LIPS BUT LOVE SEEKS TUERING.
SHE TRREMBLES HER FAN IN A SWEETNESS DUMB, AS HERTHOUGHTS WERE BEYOND RECALLING
WITH A GLANCE FOR SOME
FOR HER EYELIDS RISING AND FALLING
SPEAKS COMMON WORDS WITH A BLUSHFUL AIR
HEARS BOLD WORDS, UNPROVING
BUT HER SILENCE SAYS - WHAT SHE WILL NEVER SWEAR AND LOVE SEEKS BETTER LOVING
