Gods, what a handsome youth across the way.
   What shall I do to make him notice me?
I must not be too obvious—there
   I'll shift my dress, demurely and let him see
A quick glance of an ankle very trim;
   Then blush and smooth my skirts down hastily
As if 'twere unintentional—Hell!
   The fool's not even got his eyes on me.

This work is from the United States and in the public domain because it was not legally published with the permission of the copyright holder before January 1, 2003 and the author died 88 years ago. This is a posthumous work and its copyright in certain countries and areas may depend on years since posthumous publication, rather than years since the author's death. Translations or editions published later may be copyrighted.


The longest-living author of this work died in 1936, so this work is in the public domain in countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 87 years or less. This work may be in the public domain in countries and areas with longer native copyright terms that apply the rule of the shorter term to foreign works.
