ALLEGRO, by                    
First Line: How she strode by
Last Line: In the fields. ...
Subject(s): Flowers; Kisses; Love


How she strode by
(A tall-stemmed flower swaying in the wind)
With a long-limbed stride,
While curling wisps of hair
Blew about her face and throat
And the clinging drapery of her dress
Molded her soft firm breasts
And sturdy thighs. ...

Straightway
All the drab ugliness of my world
Vanished,
And I remembered only the blue sky
And sea,
And sun-kissed flowers
In the fields. ...
