HER FACE by SALLY BRUCE KINSOLVING

First Line: THERE WAS A LOOK UPON HER FACE
Last Line: TO AGE OR RIME.
Subject(s): BEAUTY;
There was a look upon her face
Of gardens that are touched by frost --
A look that shot a pang through hearts
The loved her most.

And yet it wore the loveliness
Of all that is subdued by time --
A beauty that can never yield
To age or rime.
