THE PRINCESS IN A SEA=GIRT TOWER

THE PRINCESS IN A SEA-GIRT TOWER

by Robert Davidson.

A princess stood in a sea-girt tower
With face innocent, moon-pale and fair,
A sly smile kindled brightly in her eyes
As she gave me look for look so rare.

Sleeping Beauty awaits the husband kiss,
Such sensual thoughts in my mind so ran
As I stood on the wharf, rapt by longing.
She's so hungering for her conquering man.

I took a flashlight photograph of her
Silhouetted against the bright sky-line,
As she posed nude one night on a sand-bar
Just off the shore, and so I thought her mine.

But fate's despot thumb was downward turned
And I knew my lustful days were done.
The ship with her real lover now returned
And I knew she'd played with me for fun.

It has been oh, so long since life was love
And as the grey years pass, I'm just struck dumb.
It seems that I was too enthralled of her
But then, the hearts of older men are numb.
