The Magic Mirror

Listen in the reader

Then bade he bring a mirror that he had, A mirror, like the bosom of the wise, Reflecting all the world, and lifting up The veil from all its secret, good and evil. That mirror bade he bring, and, in its face Looking, beheld the face of his Desire, He saw those lovers in the solitude, Turn'd from the world, and all its ways and people, And looking only in each other's eyes, And never finding any sorrow there.
