Just a multitude of curls
Language: English
Just a multitude of curls, Weighing down a little head; Two wide eyes, not blue nor gray, Like the sky 'twixt night and day, Small red mouth and all to say, Has been sold. Just a saucy word or glance And a hand held out to kiss; Just a curl a ribbon through Just a flower fresh and blue, And to think what men will do Just for this!
