George Mac-Henry


Bright as musky moss-rose summer’s sun.	1
Bright as the dimpled smiles that spring enwreath.	2
Budded as a thorn to sting.	3
Chaste as the pious rapture of the nun.	4
Fair as a Seraph.	5
Ferments like boiling yeast.	6
Glistened like the glow of precious stones.	7
Mild as the call of spring to buried flowers.	8
Noiseless … as the falling dew.	9
Pure as the kiss that waked Endymion.	10
Sad as the tears the sullen Winter weeps.	11
Soft as the swan-down where Summer sleeps.	12
Sweet as summer’s showers.	13
Warm as Cytherea.	14
