My Milkmaid

. I took her by her fine callused hand I lead her to the stream fifty yards below I undressed her and not with my eyes with each digit Her gestured poise I wanted intensely I did beseech her to bathe

Your romantic nature shines in this write, James! There is a scene in Robin Hood where Marion is watching a naked Robin shower under a waterfall. The look on her face is probably much like the look on mine while reading this -- intrigue and desire! Great poetry! Love, Carolyn
