Ella Wheeler Wilcox - AttractionElla Wheeler Wilcox - Attraction
Work rating: Low


The meadow and the mountain with desire Gazed on each other, till a fierce unrest Surged `neath the meadow`s seemingly calm breast, And all the mountain`s fissures ran with fire. A mighty river rolled between them there. What could the mountain do but gaze and burn? What could the meadow do but look and yearn, And gem its bosom to conceal despair? Their seething passion agitated space, Till lo! the lands a sudden earthquake shook, The river fled: the meadow leaped, and took The leaning mountain in a close embrace.
