The Harbor At Lorient - With Apologies To Berthe Marisot

Mademoiselle is acting cryptic and vague 
By the harbor at Lorient.
With her white dress and parasol, 
Her gaze turned aside,
Looking pensive, aloof, 
Pretending she wants to be alone.
Feigning introspection; a delicate charade 
That only fools the foolish.
The carnation in her hat indicates 
A different motivation for her being there,
But mademoiselle is acting cryptic and vague 
By the harbor at Lorient.
