She Dainty Stepped - Lei

I saw her first on windswept plain Her gold hair shone like sunlit grain Her skin as fair as cloud above A form that spoke to me of love... She dainty stepped; I held my breath My heart did gasp, a gasp of death For she was lame, as lame could be Would love still fain join her with me?
