First Line: The dark eagerness of the stranger
Last Line: Ths smile of the stranger.
Subject(s): Smiles; Strangers
The dark eagerness of the stranger
Is gleaming -- his smile directed
Toward the Anglo Saxon in me
Who cannot smile easily.
It is like a touch, this laughing,
When one's heart is wrapped carefully
In the cotton of refinement --
Ths smile of the stranger.
