TO A PICTURE OF MY MOTHER AS A GIRL by ARTHUR W. UPSON

First Line: DID EVER A YOUTH PASS BY THE SPOT
Last Line: WITHOUT THAT HEART OF GOLD!
Subject(s): CHILDHOOD MEMORIES; GIRLS; PORTRAITS; YOUTH;

DID ever a youth pass by the spot
Your fragrance, love, made dear,
Without a heart-leap at the lot
That drew his fancy near?

Was ever a maid of fairy stuff
Like this, in days of old—
A rose already fine enough
Without that heart of gold!
