In the pastureLittle girls with bright faces andOutstretched arms, skirts spinning like pinwheels,Run and playIn sunlight and breeze.

Splash of sunlight On white and greenAn artist's afternoon dream.With sleepy eyes, sleepy mind,Contemplating flowers like starsOf heaven in number,Like children of Abraham,Like grains of sand,Waves of grass Lapping, lapping GentlyOn the meadow's shore.

On a stage of wax—billowingIvory curtains open to the blue skyA dancer in a red skirtPirouettes under herWaves of satin hairBehind, under, and all around Twirl more dancers in sleek Shiny green costumesStill, she is the star of This spectacular show.
