YOUNG DIANA

Grace of the crescent has young Dian,
Spurning the globe with her tiptoe tread,
Gazing along where the arrow sped
For a little white rabbit that ran.

Girlish and wanton is young Dian,
Slender and lithe as a reed in the wind;
Fast in her heart that arrow she'll find
When her true lover grows to a man.
