The Sisters' Tragedy by Thomas Bailey Aldrich
page 50 of 62 (80%)

Or like two strawberries made one
By some sly trick of dew and sun.


PILGRIM.

A poet!


SHEPHERD.

Nay, a simple swain
That tends his flock on yonder plain,
Naught else, I swear by book and bell.
But she that passed--you marked her well.
Was she not smooth as any be
That dwell herein in Arcady?


PILGRIM.

Her skin was as the satin bark
Of birches.


SHEPHERD.

Light or dark?
