Item 1833
Penned verse from a wallet containing a date of 1915
INDIFFERENCE
Are her eyes fair?
Why should I know? How should I care?
I love their glow.
Wherein resides
The charm, the spell?
What thing abides,
Enthralls, so well?
Is her cheek pale
Or shames the rose?
Fie! such detail,
To me it glows.
This my reply:
The darkened heart Sees naught but sky
Till she depart.
Light hair or dark?
Nor can I tell;
I only mark
It crowns her well.
From her there gleams
A beauty rare
That shames all dreams
Of eyes and hair.
