Sonnet For the Little Girl With No Doll
SONNET FOR THE LITTLE GIRL WITH NO DOLL
Above the brook blue Damsels flit in dance
And bring to mind that little girl who’d pass
Long solitary hours with spellbound glance
Such simple joys gave solace, filled her glass
No doll for her, the solitude to fill
But she saw silken wings above the stream
That dart and flicker round each shining rill
And all alone gazed at the passing scene
Could you and I regain that fresh clean sight
And find contented bliss within the trice
Would we thereby accept and find delight
In life, perceive its gift beyond all price
Perhaps one of life’s secrets in this rhyme
Is: look, and live always in present time
