Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDEF GHIJ KLMN| She sat just like the others at the table | A |
| But on second glance she seemed to hold her cup | B |
| a little differently as she picked it up | B |
| She smiled once It was almost painful | A |
| - | |
| And when they finished and it was time to stand | C |
| and slowly as chance selected them they left | D |
| and moved through many rooms they talked and laughed | E |
| I saw her She was moving far behind | F |
| - | |
| the others absorbed like someone who will soon | G |
| have to sing before a large assembly | H |
| upon her eyes which were radiant with joy | I |
| light played as on the surface of a pool | J |
| - | |
| She followed slowly taking a long time | K |
| as though there were some obstacle in the way | L |
| and yet as though once it was overcome | M |
| she would be beyond all walking and would fly | N |
