SECRETS by LILLIAN EVERTS

First Line: WHEN DROWSY TIME DISCARDS HER SPANGLED DRESS
Last Line: EACH WRINKLE HOLDS. . . .
Subject(s): SECRETS;
When drowsy Time discards her spangled dress,
Angelic touches carefully caress
Its secret folds
And place it, womanlike, within a vault
Where tenderness can smooth the earthly fault
Each wrinkle holds. . . .
