CARMEN COMES
  HARLRIETi MAXON, 11
A silvered laugh,
A half-breathed song,
A sudden pause
In the gay-clad throng.
The smoke-wreathed sparks
Of the cigarettes,
Then-the far cling-clink
Of the castanettes.
A mocking pair
Of half-veiled eyes;
Smooth-curving lips
Where the wine's red lies.
Through the mists of smoke
A fire-spark shows
In her hair's dull cloud
A heart-red rose.
A light strain wakes
To match her dance,
A heart's chord breaks
At each wayward glance.
