And, in transparent shadow, come and go,
Shy hints of lace and subtle broderie!
Observe—the filmy ruff about her throat,
The pretty ruffles at her slender wrists,
The shapely beauty of her small brown hands,
That harp upon the rigid racquet strings.
Note well the smart coquettish tennis shoon,
The shimmer of her silken, sable hose,
The while her tiny feet beat faultless time,
And flash and glitter 'neath her petticoat!
