Then she appeared, an apple Venus on a half-open shell.
Then she appeared in the first photograph on Fox Talbot's gel.

I was a little frightened
Flying with my senses heightened.
Cherubim cheered,
Then she appeared.

Then she appeared as the giggling crew of Marie Celeste.
Then she appeared as a pale Atlantis rising out of the west.

I was a little dazzled.
Catherine wheeled and senses frazzled.
Know it sounds weird,
Then she appeared.

And the sun, which formerly shone
In the clearest summer sky,
Suddenly just changed address -
Now it shines from her blue eyes.

Then she appeared as a shooting star that dropped in my lap.
Then she appeared dressed in tricolour and phrygian cap.

I was a little troubled.
Hookah with my senses bubbled.
All Edward leered,
Then she appeared.

And the moon, which formerly shone
On the marble midnight mile,
Suddenly just packed its bags -
Now it shines from her bright smile.
