THE LENTEN MAID, by SIDNEY ROBINSON KENNEDY First Line: Her wonted smiles are turned to frowns Last Line: She cannot hide. Subject(s): Love; Puberty | |||
HER wonted smiles are turned to frowns, Her laugh a sigh, Sackcloth and ashes for ball gowns -- Ah, luckless I. While worldly thoughts away are gone, -- Her Lenten part, -- Does Cupid blunt his darts upon A stony heart? Ah, though her mirth and jollities She puts aside, The silent laughter of her eyes She cannot hide. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WEALTH by ANNA HEMPSTEAD BRANCH THE MAN WITHOUT A COUNTRY by H.
