Glamour

Author: Isabel Ecclestone Mackay [More Titles by Mackay]

THE knowledge of love
Is like sudden sun upon a river--
The slipping water
Is instantly opaque and glorious.
No longer can we look into it
Counting the pebbles,
Watching the ribboned water-reeds,
Or searching idly
For that something which we lost
(A ring with gems)
It is all glamour, now!
We turn away, shading our eyes.

[The end]
Isabel Ecclestone Mackay's poem: Glamour
