First Line: Not for your tender eyes that shine
Last Line: A woman passes solitaire!
Alternate Author Name(s): Tremaine, John


Not for your tender eyes that shine,
Nor for your red lips pulsing wine,
I love you, dear: your soul divine,
In sweet captivity, holds mine!

The tender eyes have lost their glow,
The flagons of the lips run low,
The autumn trembles in the air,—
A woman passes solitaire!
