Gershon Wolf Poet Lay

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?
