And give a hint of undulating grace,

That closely clinging cambric strives to mock.

Such is her choice costume so fresh and crisp;

So recently assumed, it scarce has gained

The pretty pucker and the nameless charm,

It borrows from the wearer's changeful curves;

While warm white lights start forth in bold relief,

Contrasting with the shadows pearly grey,

About her slender figure, pliant pleats

Now slyly smile and play at hide-and-seek:
