Ogden Nash - A Lady Who Thinks She Is Thirty

Ogden Nash - A Lady Who Thinks She Is Thirty

Unwillingly Miranda wakes, br Feels the sun with terror, br One unwilling step she takes, br Shuddering to the mirror. br br Miranda in Miranda's sight br Is old and gray and dirty; br Twenty-nine she was last night; br This morning she is thirty. br br Shining like the morning star, br Like the twilight shining, br Haunted by a calendar, br Miranda is a-pining. br br Silly girl, silver girl, br Draw the mirror toward you; br Time who makes the years to whirl br Adorned as he adored you.
