Deep in the depths of the crystal globe What see you, Lady fair? Why seek Life's mysteries to probe, Wouldst read thy future there? What portents flushing cheek, and fire Spite-flashed from cruel eye? Art robbed therein of heart's desire? Canst thou thy fates descry? Spurn not them, Lady fair! Spurn not them, Lady fair! See, in the spectrum's azure flame Before you, Lady fair, The cryptic marking of a name Linked close with thine,—beware! The divination of each line Within yon crystal ball, Thou knowst doth prove thy life and mine Are linked for once and all; Spurn not me, Lady fair! Spurn not me, Lady fair! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest... |
