Poem Title:
Poem
The more mature ladies sit aside Engrossed in conversing Contented in perusing dance Some their feet rehearsing Such a seat up high with a view Alone upon the hill Longing once again to dance And tap out those fancy rills In a plain Calico day dress, A coat once rich now worn Dreaming of spring, as peach dress swings A spring day newly born Different shades of springs clear blue sky White apple blossom gown Spring green decorations line hall Peach blossom dress the crown Off in the distance, the sound of the train The whistle announces It has stopped here in this young town From train master bounces There's a package over his shoulder Sealed in a fancy bag He mounts his horse that is waiting Behind he did not lag The lady that sits high on hill In a gazebo hoping Unaware that riders from town Approach as she's coping He tells her of observations Of her strong courage In the bag he brought a gown One that matched her virtue The belle of the cotillon ball Dressed in emeral green A velvet dress made just for her One fit for a great queen Inspired by Isaiah Zerbst's Contest: Ballroom Delights From the painting by: Victor Gabriel Gilbert Written: Over several days in November 2014
