Beauty in the sand

I found a beauty in the sand
And took in mine her little hand
And swinging arms with touching palms
We skipped where wavelets kissed the land.

And she with ringlets in her hair
Blue ribbon-seas white-curling there
While whispered loves like silver doves
Thronged around us in the air.

And there we fluttered 'neath the skies
Tumbling like rare butterflies
Far below the indigo
She, the fairy-self, and I.
