For Kit
Kit's lovely like the blooms of May
That open in the dazzling sun--
She's a girl whose beauty stuns
Like a magnificent bouquet.
Her eyes are radiant and wide,
That with a strange excitement beam--
Kit's eyes are lovely like a dream
That glow like the stars at night.
No prettier girl you'll ever meet--
Kit's lovelier than all the rest--
Her smile alone would arrest
All traffic on a busy street.
And if you ever meet this girl,
Perhaps you'll glimpse that inner light
Within her spirit free and bright
That brings back joy into this world.
