POINCIANA


. . . . . . . . .
The maiden gowned in red delight
Was dancing on mOOnlit night.
Her slippers satired red, trpped time
To Mays mad moon in teasing rhyme.
Her flaming hair, in loose refrain
Defied the threatened clouds of rain.
The thunder roared, the lightning crashed,
The madden hung her head abashed
Her gown torn her hair wet;
She spent an hour of sharp regret.
Too proud to show the moon her hurt,
She turned to give her rags flirt,
But he remembered with tear
How reckless she had been last year.
