THE SKAITH OF GUILLARDUN: 33 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: AND MUCH SHE PONDERS ON HIS TROUBLED MIEN
Last Line: ARE FONDLY FAIN TO READ THE HEART OF MAN!
Subject(s): HEARTS; LOVE;

And much she ponders on his troubled mien,
Which wakes a sweet uncertainty the more;
And much she wonders if his smile may screen
A grief on which he hath but swung the door;
With covert glance and lashes droop'd between,
His unplumb'd depths next peers she to explore.
For women, since the first fair Eve began,
Are fondly fain to read the heart of man!
