Then she appeared, an apple
Venus on a half-open shell.

Then she appeared in the first photograph on
Fox
Talbot's gel.
I was a little frightened

Flying with my senses heightened.

Cherubim cheered,

Then she appeared.
Then she appeared as the giggling crew of
Marie
Celeste.

Then she appeared as a pale
Atlantis rising out of the west.
I was a little dazzled.

Catherine wheeled and senses frazzled.

Know it sounds weird,

Then she appeared.
And the sun, which formerly shone

In the clearest summer sky,

Suddenly just changed address -

Now it shines from her blue eyes.

Then she appeared as a shooting star that dropped in my lap.

Then she appeared dressed in tricolour and phrygian cap.
I was a little troubled.

Hookah with my senses bubbled.

All
Edward leered,

Then she appeared.

And the moon, which formerly shone

On the marble midnight mile,

Suddenly just packed its bags -

Now it shines from her bright smile.
