A Mystery.

Belinda has a gentle face
And spiritual style.
She moves about with languid grace
And wears plaintive smile.
And yet she'll eat box or two
OF candy ere each day is through
And sections vast of pie and cake
And everything they broil or bake,
And all the while her glance will CLEAN
With delicate disdain,
AS II her life were but dream,
Beyond this earthly plane
Our rugged ways we all lament
With genuine distress.
She seems a Gliding vision sent
OF fleeing loneliness.
But half the salad she devours
Would keep man awake for hours,
And frozen sweets. CONNECTIONS rare,
Are her persistent bill Of fare
And still she fades until we fear
Belinda will take flight
And only leave behind her here
4 haunting appetite.
