Excerpt: ...masked in bashfulnesses; Deft make-believes, and doubts, soon quelled; Tense little soft, half-slipped suggestions, Remonstrances arousing questions--(Sneer not, old mumbler, late rebelled!) The tell-tale flush in elder maid Less riant was, the eyes' bright gush Not quite so artless, unafraid, As in the flowering bud the blush; It smiled its victory more than laughed, And drank its joy in long, slow draught, With reveried, inner, happy hush.
