THE ONE FACE, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Fair faces come again
Last Line: In the world are enough now!
Subject(s): Faces


Fair faces come again,
As at sunsetting
The stars without number;
Or as dreams dreamed in vain
To a heart forgetting
Come back with slumber.

Love covered both my eyes
In a sweet twilight
With his two hands folded;
Foolish to be most wise,
In the light of thy light
See as my soul did!

O Love, that, seeing all,
Sweetly dost cover
The eyes of thy loved ones,
Let me no more recall
The dim hours over
And the one face loved once!

But, having long been blind,
To behold those graces
I have lost with love now,
Let me behold and find
If all fair faces
In the world are enough now!
