PSALM FOR MISS WINGFIELD
The inner life of elegance
Is awkward to explain –
The outer life of awkwardness
Is elegant, if plain.
The dimmer glow of candlelight
Is softer to perceive –
The brighter candelabra flame
Is harder to receive.
The later dance of confidence
Is simple to forget –
The early steps of shy romance
Are harder to regret.
