PETER by ANN HAMILTON (1902-)

First Line: PETER IS A PLAIN LAD
Last Line: AND HIS RED HAIR.
Subject(s): LOVE - BEGINNINGS;
Peter is a plain lad
With a strong will.
He never looks behind him
When he climbs a hill.

There are many others
Equally as wise,
With as much sparkle
In their young eyes;

But once Peter traveled
Over foreign lands
And brought back perfume
In his simple hands;

And when I breathe its fragrance
Exotic and rare
I think first of Peter
And his red hair.
