A Lady Red

    Newer Older

    A Lady red—amid the Hill
    Her annual secret keeps!
    A Lady white, within the Field
    In placid Lily sleeps!

    The tidy Breezes, with their Brooms—
    Sweep vale—and hill—and tree!
    Prithee, My pretty Housewives!
    Who may expected be?

    The Neighbors do not yet suspect!
    The Woods exchange a smile!
    Orchard, and Buttercup, and Bird—
    In such a little while!

    And yet, how still the Landscape stands!
    How nonchalant the Hedge!
    As if the "Resurrection"
    Were nothing very strange!

      Nature imitates the voluptuous blush of a woman. Wildly captivating.
