Ribbon-wrought
A package brought
Greater interest to her stairs
Such little luck
Curiousity struck
When she saw its nameless flair
The package bore a pair of eyes
To better see the sunny skies
& the window-perched man glancing down
The latter, who, unnoticed knew
How harsh her nearsight quickly grew
As his sunny eyes met hers of brown
Curiousity killed Miss Catherine Ryde
As struck by a car, she instantly died
With thankful eyes locked to the windowsill
Of a man whose heart so deeply wept
Crossing the street, love's life was swept
& her farsight kept forever still
To the window-perched man upon the sill.

With thankful eyes locked to the windowsill
Of a man whose heart so deeply wept
Crossing the street, love's life was swept
& her farsight kept forever still
To the window-perched man upon the sill.
