THE SHADOW DANCE
She sees her image in the glass, -
How fair a thing to gaze upon!
She
lingers while the moments run,
With happy thoughts that come and pass,
Like winds across the meadow grass
When the young June is just
begun:
She sees her image in the glass, -
How fair a thing to gaze
upon!
What wealth of gold the skies amass!
How glad are all things 'neath the
sun!
How true the love her love has won!
She recks not that this hour will
pass, -
She sees her image in the glass.
Louise Chandler Moulton [1835-1908]
