White maiden with the russet hair	A
Whose garments through their holes declare	A
That poverty is part of you	B
And beauty too	B
	-
To me a sorry bard and mean	C
Your youthful beauty frail and lean	C
With summer freckles here and there	A
Is sweet and fair	A
	-
Your sabots tread the roads of chance	D
And not one queen of old romance	D
Carried her velvet shoes and lace	E
With half your grace	E
	-
In place of tatters far too short	F
Let the proud garments worn at Court	F
Fall down with rustling fold and pleat	G
About your feet	G
	-
In place of stockings worn and old	H
Let a keen dagger all of gold	H
Gleam in your garter for the eyes	I
Of rou s wise	I
	-
Let ribbons carelessly untied	J
Reveal to us the radiant pride	J
Of your white bosom purer far	K
Than any star	K
	-
Let your white arms uncovered shine	L
Polished and smooth and half divine	L
And let your elfish fingers chase	E
With riotous grace	E
	-
The purest pearls that softly glow	M
The sweetest sonnets of Belleau	M
Offered by gallants ere they fight	N
For your delight	N
	-
And many fawning rhymers who	B
Inscribe their first thin book to you	B
Will contemplate upon the stair	A
Your slipper fair	A
	-
And many a page who plays at cards	O
And many lords and many bards	O
Will watch your going forth and burn	P
For your return	P
	-
And you will count before your glass	O
More kisses than the lily has	O
And more than one Valois will sigh	Q
When you pass by	Q
	-
But meanwhile you are on the tramp	R
Begging your living in the damp	R
Wandering mean streets and alley's o'er	S
From door to door	T
	-
And shilling bangles in a shop	U
Cause you with eager eyes to stop	U
And I alas have not a sou	O
To give to you	B
	-
Then go with no more ornament	V
Pearl diamond or subtle scent	W
Than your own fragile naked grace	O
And lovely face	O
