ON A WHITE MUSLIN DRESS IN A MODISTE'S WINDOW, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Demure white frock which I espy
Last Line: Deem your white frock!
Alternate Author Name(s): Hall, Galway
Subject(s): Eyes


DEMURE white frock which I espy,
What slender damsel will buy
This miracle of dainty dress
And grace it with her loveliness,
The bliss of every doting eye?

Upon a dummy figure lie
These tender folds, and seem to sigh
Some softer bosom to possess,
Demure white frock!

I can't resist. The price is high,
But my cigars I will deny;
I'll get the thing for you, dear Bess,
And when you wear it, I'll confess
How utterly entrancing I
Deem your white frock!
