THE MEETING by ISABEL ECCLESTONE MACKAY

First Line: SHE FLITTED BY ME ON THE STAIR
Last Line: A MOMENT SINCE I KNEW NOT OF HER!
Subject(s): ABSENCE; HEARTS; LOVE; SEPARATION; ISOLATION;

SHE flitted by me on the stair—
A moment since I knew not of her.
A look, a smile—she passed! but where
She flitted by me on the stair
Joy cradled exquisite despair;
For who am I that I should love her?
She flitted by me on the stair—
A moment since I knew not of her!
