Emily

She turned a shy key. ***** as quaint.
Nun-tempered; and in doing so
Had locked a world out.
Breathing: "this is freedom!" To mock
In an unholy uproar
That care-chased about.

Why the omissian of the word Queer. It just means strange. Are you people that much offended? How would you cope with Shakespeare?!
