NEMESIS by WINIFRED LUCAS

First Line: IF AN ANGEL, UNAWARE
Last Line: EACH REBUKE I BEAR FROM YOU.
Subject(s): ENEMIES;

IF an angel, unaware
I had left thee grieved afar,
Through the free celestial air
Moved upon me like a star,
At thy frown within his smile
I should tremble all the while.

Every favour blindly given
Thy reproach would make to me.
So the sunniest smiles of heaven
In thy human censures be,
My beloved, glowing thro'
Each rebuke I bear from you.
