The Peasant Girl of Paris
by
Wesley A. Storer
The World she lived in
Gave her a sadistic addiction
That fed on her flame of beauty
Still a trace of nineteen
On her lovely fading frame
When She came to him
To his poverty and need
To his empty dying soul
A most undesirable man
She knew it and he knew it
She gave herself a few times
And To Him
She is the greatest mystery
The World will ever own
And he believes God is kind
