The New World brings her daughter out With fuss and bluster now; Adorers seek her snow-white hand, And at her beauty bow. Each strives her favor first to gain, And rudely steps upon her train. They court her while they call her "cold" And "distant" to her face; The heiress smiles, while quick breaths lift Her frills of ancient lace— The eyes of all her suitors rest On glint of gold upon her breast.—E. G.
