TO MY PHOTOGRAPH: A.D. 1897 by KATE CRICHTON GREDLER

First Line: DEAR, ROUND-EYED ONE, I WISH I KNEW
Last Line: TO YOUR DEWY CHARM AND YOUR SMUG COMPLACENCE.
Subject(s): PHOTOGRAPHY & PHOTOGRAPHERS; SELF;
Dear, round-eyed one, I wish I knew
As little about life as you!
Or that I felt one-half as certain
Of a happy end at the final curtain.
Across the years I make obeisance
To your dewy charm and your smug complacence.
