Puella mea

by E. E. Cummings

Through the young and awkward hours

my lady perfectly moving,

through the new world scarce astir

my fragile lady wandering

in whose perishable poise

is the mystery of Spring

(with her beauty more than snow

dexterous and fugitive

my very frail lady drifting

distinctly, moving like a myth

in the uncertain morning, with

April feet like sudden flowers
