She Walks in Darkness
She walks in darkness of the night
With clear thoughts and cloudy skies;
The worst of society, its blight
Diverges from her soul and her eyes;
Yet so beautiful she is in moonlight
Which the beautiful day promptly denies.
A little more makeup used, and if less,
Ten times more ugly and zero grace
A knotty tempest in her black tress,
Which drapes across her face;
Where pure thoughts yearn to express,
How so repulsive is their resting place.
And on that woman and on her brow,
So rough, so fragile and ineloquent,
The smiles that repulse and that glow,
Show me days of madness spent,
A mind in wreck as all below
A tormented heart yearning to be innnocent!
