Deborah danced, when she was two,
As buttercups and daffodils do;
Spirited, frail, naïvely bold,
Her hair a ruffled crest of gold.

Additional quotes by Aline Murray Kilmer

I sing of little loves that glow
Like tapers shining through the rain.
Of little loves that break themselves
Like moths against the window-pane.

St. Brigid, please keep
My babies asleep!

I shall not be afraid any more,
Either by night or day;
What would it profit me to be afraid
With you away?
* * *
For there is only sorrow in my heart;
There is no room for fear.
But how I wish I were afraid again,
My dear, my dear!

Deborah danced, when she was two, As buttercups and daffodils do; Spirited, frail, naïvely bold, Her hair a ruffled crest of gold. - Aline Murray Kilmer
