She took away what she thought was hers,
The delicate Chinese silken fan,
Of fuchsia and handcrafted work,
To hide her perfect mocha tan!
Under a fountain in a garden she lay,
The prize of many a hardened days
beside her, thinking of her love,
the furious pink roses above!
The delicate Chinese silken fan,
