Full Moon

Topics: classic

She was wearing the coral taffeta trousers     Someone had brought her from Ispahan,     And the little gold coat with pomegranate blossoms,     And the coral-hafted feather fan;     But she ran down a Kentish lane in the moonlight,     And skipped in the pool of the moon as she ran.     She cared not a rap for all the big planets,     For Betelgeuse or Aldebaran,     And all the big planets cared nothing for her,     That small impertinent charlatan;     But she climbed on a Kentish stile in the moonlight,     And laughed at the sky through the sticks of her fan.
