George Darley


A blooming pair of vermeil cheeks, like Hebe’s in her ruddiest hours.	1
Crisp as the unshorn desert hay.	2
Grey as time.	3
Pure as a Saint’s adoring sigh.	4
Sideways, like an amorous dove.	5
Soft as pity.	6
Subside, like a swollen bubble on the ocean tide.	7
Swift as a star falls through the night.	8
Swift as a sunshot dart of light.	9
Warm as a prayer in Paradise.	10
