A Simile For Her Smile
A Simile For Her Smile
Your smiling or the the hope, the thought of it,
Makes in my mind such pause and abrupt ease
As when the highway bridgegates fall,
Balking the hasty traffic, which must sit
On each side massed and staring, while
Deliberately the drawbridge starts to rise;

Then horns are hushed, the oilsmoke rarifies,
Above the idling motors, one can tell
the packets smooth approach, the slip, slip
of the silken river past the sides,
the ringing of clear bells, the dip
and slow cascading of the paddle wheel.
