She carries in the dishes, And lays them in a row. To an isle in the water With her would I go. She carries in the candles, And lights the curtained room, Shy in the doorway And shy in the gloom; And shy as a rabbit, Helpful and shy. To an isle in the water With her would I fly. €6,000-€8,000 (£5,130-£6,840 approx.) Click here for more images and to bid on this lot65
