Explore "Orlie Wilde" by James Whitcomb Riley on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
A goddess, with a siren's grace, -- / A sun-haired girl on a craggy place / Above a bay where fish-boats lay / Drifting about like birds of prey.
Wrought was she of a painter's dream, -- / Wise only as are artists wise, / My artist-friend, Rolf Herschkelhiem, / With deep sad eyes of oversize, / And face of melancholy guise.
