Poet Analysis

First Line: NOT FOR YOUR TENDER EYES THAT SHINE
Last Line: A WOMAN PASSES SOLITAIRE!

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,—
@3A woman passes solitaire!@1
