SHE DANCED

 

 

 

SHE DANCED

 

 

Holding commune with her soul

her slender figure half in light

responded to her conscience call

in conduct and in principle.

 

And in the soft mysterious glow

which fell upon them silent all

with unaffected gracefulness

she bowed with icy deference.

 

Now thrown upon society

with new-found inborn confidence

and with her elegance beguiled

she danced just like a child.
