THE LOOK



     Strephon kissed me in the spring,

     
  Robin in
the fall,
    
But Colin only looked at me

    
  
And never kissed at all.





                     

  
  Strephon’s kiss was lost in jest,


       
Robin’s lost in play,

    
But the kiss in Colin’s eyes


       
Haunts me night and day.

    Sara Teasdale and I share, or rather shared in her case, a love of Christina Rosetti, at least her poetry.
