CHILD HEART, by GRACE STONE COATES
First Line: Out of loneliness she fashioned beauty Last Line: "she cried: ""your highness!"" and knelt unafraid." Subject(s): Pirates; Piracy; Buccaneers
Out of loneliness she fashioned beauty, Moonstone verses and rhymed filigree, From her terrors she plucked stout booty -- A robber's curses and a pirate's glee.
Drama spiced her dearth and dryness With a hag to scold her and a prince to aid; When Death, the ruffian, nudged her shoulder She cried: "Your Highness!" and knelt unafraid.
