In the Shop Window
she paused to dream again
there it was still in the shop window
sublime and stunning
the most perfect and exquisite
the whitest of wedding gowns
ruffles of grace and royalty
yards of elegance and pride
shiny beads dainty pearls
and such ornate lace
the loveliest gown of gowns
and she with heavy heart
on the outside
in the cold bitter air
resigned to her turn of fate
