First Line: You drape around your willowy body
Last Line: Of a soft-throated wind!
Subject(s): Dancing & Dancers; Love
You drape around your willowy body
the amorous tunes of a Chopin valse,
and in staccato tempo
your lithe and nimble feet
twinkle
on the cool ground
daintily,
coquettishly,
like two tremulous aspen leaves
dancing to the cajoling whispers
of a soft-throated wind!
