Love

At a Dinner Party

by Amy Levy 1861–1889

From A London Plane-Tree, and Other Verse

Love

With fruit and flowers the board is deckt,
The wine and laughter flow;
I’ll not complain--could one expect
So dull a world to know?

You look across the fruit and flowers,
My glance your glances find.--
It is our secret, only ours,
Since all the world is blind.
