THE GLANCE, by                    
First Line: Her glance denied to me
Last Line: The second, my sad sighs.


Her glance denied to me
It acted vengefully:
Was ever bright sword seen
Without its edge was keen?

And so, when I descried
How she contrived to hide
And strict seclusion kept
Behind the tears I wept,

I flaunted to my love
My river and my dove--
The first, my weeping eyes,
The second, my sad sighs.
