Claire Louise

Claire Louise, Claire Louise
Whisper her softly
As a breeze
Claire Louise, Claire Louise
A poet
In his wordy splendour
Might breathe
Such magic sounds as these.

Claire Louise, Claire Louise
Whisper her softly
Among the trees
Claire Louise, Claire Louise
A forest
In its softer silence
Might breathe
Such magic sounds as these.

Claire Louise, Claire Louise
Whisper her softly
The gods to please
Claire Louise, Claire Louise
Apollo
In a prayer to beauty
Might breathe
Such magic sounds as these.
