Floating, flower-laden seems—so sweet her grace.

Aloof she stands, from idle mirth and tears

And keeps the white sails of her spirit furled,

Altho' a girl, pure from the stain of years,

An ancient Egypt, smiling at the world.

[LITTLE SAD FACE]

Little sad face, come close, so close to mine,

See through these eyes the sweetness of the day,

Feel how the sunbeams dance in Summer's wine,

Hold fast my hands and let our pulse combine
