COLLEEN OF CONNEMARA by MARGARET LATHROP LAW

First Line: BY A GIFT OF MAGIC UNIQUELY HERS
Last Line: THE SECRET MUST LIE IN THE TILT OF HER HEAD.
Subject(s): MAGIC; SECRETS;

By a gift of magic uniquely hers
The donkey cart is a coach and four;
She lolls in satin and ermine furs,
Her minions bow at every door --
Yet only a simple good day has been said.
The secret must lie in the tilt of her head.
