simple simple simple
and in their after-time
grown long ago children
gather this tale of hers
and make of her their own
child-life
remembering dream joys
little sister eager woman
pictured happy
in a strange summer
would she feel the same
through other eyes
would she keep herself the bright
heart of pleasure
even with their many sorrows
would her days and
years and she
and her loving be all little
all about a Wonderland
perhaps with the how
and how and how of childhood
and with a riper how
she would find the all to her
herself Lastly
