Then She Appeared

Then she appeared, apple Venus on a half open shell

Then she appeared, the first photograph on Fox Talbot's gel

I was a little frightened

Flying with my senses heightened

Cherubim cheered

When she appeared

Then she appeared, as the giggling crew of Marie Celeste

Then she appeared, 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 shines from her blue eyes

Then she appeared, brittle 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 leared

Then she appeared

And the moon which formerly shone

On the marbled midnight mile

Suddenly just packed its bags

Now shines from her bright smile

Then she appeared

Out of nowhere
