Magnolia
A tall magnolia Lifts high a fragrant bloom beneath my window-^" Not alabaster white, noir yet pale ivory, Bat like yoat 3 skin, All creamy ,loveliness, with yet a golden promise Like rich spilt cream, Or something that the stm has touched, and left its image. Your skin and a magnolia, Pale echoes of a Spanish garden, Warm in the pent-ap moonlight. And yoar soft breast, A creamier thing than the magnolia above I But will your skin fade too, if I but touch itCrow old aid ugly as a handled flower? —Kathleen C. Teape, Remuera.
