The Mirror
From Sonnets and Verse (1923)
Social Commentaries
The mirror held your fair, my Fair,
A fickle moment’s space.
You looked into mine eyes, and there
For ever fixed your face.
Keep rather to your looking-glass
Than my more faithful eyes:
It told the truth--Alas! my lass,
My constant memory lies.
