SUPPOSE
Anne Reeve Aldrich [1866-1892]
How sad if, by some strange new law,
All kisses
scarred!
For she who is most beautiful
Would be most marred.
And we might be surprised to see
Some lovely wife
Smooth-visaged, while
a seeming prude
Was marked for life.
From: Stevenson, Burton Egbert.
The Home Book of Verse, Volume 4.
