MRS. SPAGNA’S EYES



                                                        
                                                         For Josephine Spagna

There is a melancholy, delicate, beauty in Mrs. Spagna’s eyes,
Making her face portray a special beauty,
A beauty like the whipping waves upon the skies,
Those eyes are so warm, so tender, so dear,
They have the look of love,
Content, happy in a melancholic way,
A delicate twinkle in Mrs. Spagna’s eyes,
Bringing such a beautified portrait upon her face,
That is a surge in the love and beauty upon the skies.
