ELUSIVE, by                    
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.
