To Margarita DebayleThe Princess and the Star
• Margarita, how beautiful the sea is:
• Still and blue.• The orange blossom in the
breezes• Drifting through.• The skylark in its glory• Has your accent too:• Here, Margarita, is a story• made for you.
• There once was a mighty king,• With a palace of diamonds bright• and a shopfront made of light.• He had a herd of elephants,• A costly tower of malachite,• And a robe of rarest hue• Also a fairy princess who was
light• Of thought and beautiful as you.
The princess and the star• But one evening the princess • Saw high in the heavens a star • She was mischievous, thus• Resolving to gather that star.
• It would form the centerpiece• Of a brooch hung with verse,
pearl,• feathers, flowers: a caprice• Of course of a little girl.
• Also, dainty princesses, darling• Like you were made,• To cut and pick irises,• roses, asters, as you do.• • But, alas, our little one went far• Across the sea, beneath the sky• And all to cut the one white star• That saw her wondering and sigh.
