Lucretia

Florence Ripley Mastin

YOUR beauty is as russet fruit,

Sun-warmed, fragrant,

In a northern room.

Down in your eyes I hear the young girls sing

In Toledo’s summer fields.

Your step is firm as though it trod the grape,

And your dark head is high as though you bore

To me a brimming gourd.
