Jeune Fille

Clara Shanafelt

BENEATH the ledges

Lie the pools—

Cupped in the ruddy rock,

Bright pools of mountain water,

Unimaginably clear.

There is no sky, no distance;

The friendly wood leans near.

In wet, luxurious moss I plant my feet,

Unimaginably white;

It pleases me to think of my white body here,

Released in fair water, to charm

A delicate lover.
