JEALOUS MISERY by NORMAN ROWLAND GALE

First Line: HAD ALL MY CHARMS BEEN CONQUERED BY A GRACE
Last Line: THE SAUCER-SEEMING EYES OF HAPPINESS!
Subject(s): ENVY;

HAD all my charms been conquered by a grace
Unspeakable, I'd scorn to show distress.
But, gods! the flaxen hair, the dollish face,
The saucer-seeming eyes of Happiness!
