IMPRESSION (TO M.C.), by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: The pink and black of silk and lace
Last Line: In this miraculous rose of gold?
Subject(s): Actors & Actresses


The pink and black of silk and lace,
Flushed in the rosy-golden glow
Of lamplight on her lifted face;
Powder and wig, and pink and lace,

And those pathetic eyes of hers;
But all the London footlights know
The little plaintive smile that stirs
The shadow in those eyes of hers.

Outside, the dreary church-bell tolled,
The London Sunday faded slow;
Ah, what is this? what wings unfold
In this miraculous rose of gold?
