BESIDE HER PAPER WINDOW SAT, JUST LIKE A LADV ON A FAN. Oh, miracle of loving skill!Oh, marvel of the potters art! O Haru dropped hersamiesenAnd gazed with won-dering lips apart.For, fresh as first itsblossoms burst,She saw her stolencherry-bough;Each airy twig, each petal pure,Portrayed with touch… … ; Now yours, she cried, and fairly earned,The grace that once to give I spurned!For what you took you have returned —It is the same, the very bough !
