To Miss Atkinson, On The Extreme Diffidence Which She Displays To Strangers
________________________________________________ Title: To Miss Atkinson, On The Extreme Diffidence Which She Displays To Strangers Author: Sir John Carr [More Titles by Carr] Just as a fawn, in forest shade, Trembling to meet th' admiring eye, I've seen thee try to hide, sweet maid! Thy charms behind thy modesty. Thus too I've seen at midnight steal A fleecy cloud before the wind, And veil, tho' it could not conceal, The brilliant light that shone behind.
