EMMY

By Arthur Symons. Emmys exquisite youth and her virginal
 air, Eyes and teeth in the flash of a musical
 smile, Come to me out of the past, and see her
 there As saw her once for while. Emmy's laughter rings in my ears, as
 bright, Fresh and sweet as the voice of noun
 tain brook, And still I hear her telling us tales that
 night, Out of Boccaccios book There. in the midst of the villainous
 dancing hall, Leaning across the table, over the beer, While the music maddened the whirling
 skirts of the ball. As the midnight hour drew near. There with the women, haggard, painted
 and old, One fresh bud in a garland withered
 and stale, She with her innocent voice and her clear
 eyes, told Tale after shameless tale And ever the witching smile, to her face
 beguiled, Paused and broadened, and broke in q
 ripple of fun And the soul of child looked out of the
 eyes of a child, Or ever the tale was done. o my child, who wronged you first. and
 began First the dance of death that you dance
 so well? Soul for soul; and think the soul of .
 man Shall answer for yours in hell.
