SMILING WOMAN, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Her personable countenance
Last Line: That cuts a curved and cruel stroke.
Alternate Author Name(s): Gilkyson, Walter, Mrs.

HER personable countenance
Incites the mind devoid of laughter;
She is a smooth and supple lance
That, bent, retained some bending after.

Always the sun will flash from it,
Tracing that length that never broke—
Her lovely grace—her singing wit
That cuts a curved and cruel stroke.
