Glamour

by (1875–1928)

Listen in the reader

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.
