Poem Edie Recites at the Beach


Does anyone know the words to the poem that little Edie recites to the boys at the beach that ends with "poet - temptress?"

reply

She even had talent there,
"William Blake?"

"Edie Beale!"

someone post the poem

reply

"Smart and sleek she sits,
Ready with her playful quips.
Wondering who will come her way,
To dine her, to wine her,
Which to snare to stay."

Thanks!!

Not exactly. She was about as talented at poetry as she was at dancing, poor woman.
