Poet Analysis

First Line: VAIN IS THE MASK. WHO CANNOT AT DESIRE
Last Line: THE FACE, BUT LETS THE CHANGELESS HEART LIE BARE.

VAIN is the mask. Who cannot at desire
Name every Singer in the hidden choir?
That is a thin disguise which veils with care
The face, but lets the changeless heart lie bare.
