Addressing the girl who is sketting.



Addressing the girl who is sketting.

O maiden,thou art flying,
like a bird in the azure infinite,
Unfolding thy feathers,
amongst the uprors.


Thy upper & lower limbs art,
like swaying boughs.
The cool air thrashing on thy brest
and thou art full of zest.

Sometimes thou art,
whirling like whrilpool.
Thou have uplifted chin
& a trunk,very thin.

O maiden,thou appear,
like an angel in dream.
Thy two feet art ornamental.
Thou keep thy balances,
only on two devices.

    Good use of language to describe the situation is shown in this. One has to admire how the diction in the lines does not go away from the poetic.
    The total picture of this poem is good poetry.
