METHINKS I see your mirror frame, Ornate with photographs of them. Place mine therein, for, all the same, I'll have my little laughs at them. For girls may come, and girls may go, I think I have the best of them; And yet this photograph I know You'll toss among the rest of them. I cannot even hope that you Will put me in your locket, dear; Nor costly frame will I look through, Nor bide in your breast pocket, dear. For none your heart monopolize, You favour such a nest of them. So I but hope your roving eyes Seek mine among the rest of them. For saucy sprite, and noble dame, And many a dainty maid of them Will greet me in your mirror frame, And share your kisses laid on them. And yet, sometimes I fancy, dear, You hold me as the best of them. So I'm content if I appear To-night with all the rest of them. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BUMS, ON WAKING by JAMES DICKEY A FOLK SINGER OF THE THIRTIES by JAMES DICKEY WANDERER IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY by CLARENCE MAJOR THE WANDERER by WYSTAN HUGH AUDEN LONG GONE by STERLING ALLEN BROWN BLACK SHEEP by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON A VAGABOND SONG by BLISS CARMAN A CRY FROM AN INDIAN WIFE by EMILY PAULINE JOHNSON |
