The miracle
Language: English
Who is in love with loveliness, Need not shake with cold; For he may tear a star in two, And frock himself in gold. Who holds her first within his heart, In certain favor goes; If his roof tumbles, he may find Harbor in a rose.
Confirmed with Lizette Woodworth Reese, Wild Cherry, Baltimore, Md: The Norman, Remington Co, 1923.
