Mysterious Adventure

The Wonderful Widow of Eighteen Springs 
  for Janet Fairbank 

  night by silent sailing night, 
  Isobel, 
  wildwoods eyes and primarose hair, 
  quietly, 
  all the woods so wild 
  in mauves of moss and daphne dews 
  how all so still she lay 
  'neath of the white thorn, 
  child of tree 
  like some lost happy leaf 
  like blowing flower stilled 
  as fain would she anon 
  for soon again 'twill be, 
  win me, woo me, wed me, 
  ah!  weary me 
  deepy, 
  now even calm lay sleeping 
  night, 
  Isobel, 
  Sister Isobel, 
  Saintette Isobel, 
  Madame Isa Veuve La Belle.
