Gilda the Gipsy
A flower incarnate is she, Gilda, the charming child Gipsy; Lips red, eyes black as night, Raven hair, skin olive, riot white. As a flower sways on its stalk, So sways this flower who can talk, .Spreads with little hands the /olds of her goWn, And on the common dances up and down. Twinkle on the sward the hare feet Of the human wild-flower sweet, y Finished—she curtsies to her flower audience, Who, being little people of good sense, Curtsy back to their flower sister wild, Gilda, the pretty, dancing Gipsy child. —lris Wyn. Reeves.
