Calm as a statue-saint.With eyes as dull as smoky glass.Eyes like dark blue pansies.As languid as a lilied pond.The winking buttons on the gown Shone like the lamps of London Town.Slowly, as falls a tear that slowly starts From some great agony.Her face with little drops was wet Like pansy petals after rain.Breasts As white as hedgeside May.
