Analysis of Number Twelve
The girl walks in, she makes her place,
She smiles and shines upon her face,
She brings happiness, and constant flight,
To him she stands by day and night,
Embedding memories of smiles to one,
Infinite rays of golden sun,
For when the clock hits 12, she stray,
And take the golden sun away
