PEARLS, by                    
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.
