Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from To Barbara: With Other Verses To Barbara. Little lady, cease your play, For a moment, if you may; Come to me, and tell me true How those black eyes came to you. Father´s eyes are granite gray, And your mothers, Barbara, Black as the obsidian stone, With a luster all their own. How should one so small as you Learn to choose between the two? If through father´s eyes you look, Nature seems an open book, All her secrets written clear On her pages round you, dear. Better yet than this may be If through mother´s eyes you see; Theirs to read, a finer art, Deep down in the human heart. How should one so small as you Choose so well between the two? Hide your face behind your fan, Little black-eyed Puritan; Peer across its edge at me In demurest coquetry, Like some Dona Placida, Not the Puritan you are.
