ELUSIVE by RUTH COLEMAN

First Line: TOUCH ME NOT. / I AM MORE ELUSIVE
Last Line: BUT TOUCH ME NOT.
Subject(s): WELLESLEY COLLEGE;
TOUCH me not.
I am more elusive
Than a white-winged moth.

Watch me float
In the silver glow
Of the great moon-lamp.

Hide your eyes
If I choose my doom
Enamoured of flame.

But touch me not.
