PEARLS by AL-MUSHAFI

First Line: WHEN SHE SPOKE TO ME
Last Line: ANOTHER ROW OF PEARLS REVEALING.
Subject(s): PEARLS;

When she spoke to me
'A pearl has dropt!' I cried, and hastened
As if I would see
Whether her necklace was unfastened.

She was hushed awhile;
Then with derisive laughter pealing
Flashed on me a smile,
Another row of pearls revealing.
