YOUNG LOVELINESS, by                    
First Line: Her delicate form scarce dimples in the bed
Last Line: Expends itself to die.
Subject(s): Beauty


Her delicate form scarce dimples in the bed
Where she all night has lain.
She is as frail and fragrant as a flower
After an April rain.

I wish I had not pictured her a flower --
A flower is but a sigh
Of wonderment at beauty that so soon
Expends itself to die.
