POPPIES,

LADIES, Boftly fair,

Who curl and comb your hair, And deck your dainty bodies, ove and mern,

With pearls and flowery spray, And knotę of ribbons gay,

As if yo were for idiesse only born,

Hoarken to Wisdom's call: What are ye, after all, But flaunting poppies in runong the corn?

Whose lives but part repeat; Whose little dancing feet Swim lightly as the eilvery mists of morn

Whose pretty palmas unclose Like some fresh dewy moet, For dainty dallianoc, not for distaffs, born;

Hearken to Wisdom's call: What are ya, after all,

But flaunting poppies in among the corn?

O women, wad of face, Whose orowns of girlish grace Sin has plucked off and left ye all forlorn,

Whose pleasures do not please, Whose hearts bave no heart's-ease, Whose seeming honor is of honor shorn,

Hearken to Wisdom's call: What are ye, one and all, But painted poppies in among the corn f

Women, to name whose name All good men blush for shame, And bad men even, with the speech of scorn:

Who have nor sacred sight For Vesta's lumps so white, Nor hearing for old-Triton's wreathed horn,

Oh, hark to Wisdom's call: What are ye, one and all,

In the flash of the sunrise on warra emmer
