A NEW WOMAN, by                    
First Line: Spring blossoms with a world of eyes
Last Line: "a drowsy, faint ""dood night!"
Subject(s): Beauty; Women


Spring blossoms with a world of eyes,
My wee girl has but two;
But oh! a world of beauty lies
Within those eyes of blue.

The high hills hold vast hoards of gold,
Both beautiful and rare;
But oh! it gleams in wealth untold
Within my darling's hair.

The downy peach is pink and sleek,
And sweet as ancient wine;
But sweeter is my darling's cheek
When pressing close to mine.

She toddles to her papa's knee,
Across the flowered floor,
And each bare footstep seems to me
To leave one blossom more.

Diana's silver sickle shows
Upon the jeweled sky,
And underneath the long grass glows
A twinkling firefly.

Fair day has gone to rest, my dear,
She just put out her light,
And as you nestle close, I hear
A drowsy, faint "Dood night!"
