A GIRL, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: A girl, / her soul a deep-wave pearl
Alternate Author Name(s): Field, Michael (with Edith Emma Cooper)
Subject(s): Love; Relationships; Girls




A Girl,
Her soul a deep-wave pearl
Dim, lucent of all lovely mysteries;
A face flowered for heart's ease,
A brow's grace soft as seas
Seen through faint forest-trees:
A mouth, the lips apart,
Like aspen-leaflets trembling in the breeze
From her tempestuous heart.
Such: and our souls so knit,
I leave a page half-writ -
The work begun
Will be to heaven's conception done,
If she come to it.
