Vermeer and His Girls

VIRGINAL GIRL begin the beguine.. Make your music mine LAUGHING GIRL joy's outflow-from eyes aglow GIRL WITH EARRING a look of love- into eternity's mirror LACEMAKING GIRL intricate detail patient design- portrait of time MUSIC GIRL when the music ends- we no longer can pretend LETTER GIRL a few words can make us ill- or better WINEGLASS GIRL a girl with a glass chateau red- a touch of class NECKLACE GIRL mirror to face with a necklace- memory without a trace PENSIVE LADY lost in thought, she sighs...caught by vermeers eyes PIANO GIRL sing and play concert,piano forte- art,forgotten today GUITAR GIRL the music of the dance, love in her glance- to her true love,perchance? JUG GIRL a maid,unafraid innocence.. displayed LUTE GIRL her tune,picked by ear brings forth a tear- yet draws us near BALANCE GIRL a delicate touch frozen in time- a story in mime SINGING GIRL the singers or her song forever to us belong- picture music vivant THINKING GIRL think on,think long thought,her everyday song
