Sophie, learn to love your name,
It kindles home when heard,
Aria spread among the ether,
Lips sojourned upon a word
For Sophie is the bracing coast
Where hearts are blown to beat,
Sophie is the lonesome tree
That carves our worldly seat.

Pray mercy to the very last
For whom that carries past
The silken purr;
Softened tongue, rasped bottom lip
Full honeyed sip
Of leavened slur.
“Forget miraging golden fur…”
I hear it whisper,
Lose my feet and then surrender
What will be
When struck within by
Sophie, Sophie.
