Tomorrow Is Fairer Said The Fair

tomorow is fairer said the fair
with small mauve clouds dotting
the billowing turquoise

and the fair have rosebuds in their hair
and they are new in the world
and still shining

they stood together
like the Muses in paintings
with a gauze overlay

and we danced before them
in our blue
in our blue smocked dresses

our satin toe shoes
and this was long ago
with small clouds dotting

in mauve the billowing turquoise
and only the sunrise
to keep us fine company.
