Show 1 r THE POOL TO NARCISSUS. Fou never loved me, but you saw in me " Reflected all the flowers your own soul boi. " Tou saw your eyes la mine, and so you swo That only eyes like thoso your stars shoul bo. Vou leaned your flower soft face toward my face. I waited, heartsick, for the crowning hour. You looked and longed and loved not me, fair flower Ton. loved the mirror of your own great grace. You leaned down with the lily that you wore. Had I but leaped to meet your kiss divine You and your flower of love had now been mine, Drowned In my love, to waken nevermore. But as it is ah, love, you know the restl Robbed of your imago, how the pool seemed base ! You will find many a mirror for your face, But no more flowers will loan across my breast 1 aiiucnicuiiL |
