Hannah modeled for George Fuller, 

Standing on the prairie in her brown dress, 

So that he might capture the essence 

Of a stark existence, the pioneers. 

The painting is successful.

It evokes a harsh and lonely life. 

Hannah complied, and stood, but her mind 

Was on work which was going undone. 

George Fuller, a nineteenth century 

American painter and farmer 

Immortalized a young, discerning girl 

While painting emptiness, and fear.
