She says she has known moments
When an outer bright and varied world appears
"Spots of time" in which infected perception of a sudden clears
Mindful of time she repairs
To her room at the top of the stairs
Pestered by Giants who bend to her window
With a will to win her hand and turn her head
She slipped out of her bed in dread of what her Father said:
"Giants exist to deceive,
They retreat if they're clearly perceived."
