Margaret.

Topics: classic

Her eyes - upon a summer's day         God's skies are not more blue than they.         Her hair - you've seen a sunbeam bold         Made up of just such threads of gold.         Her cheek - the leaf which nearest grows         The dewy heart of June's red rose.         Her mouth - full lipped, and subtly sweet         As briar drowned in summer heat.         Her heart - December's chill and snow -         Heaven pity me, who love her so!
