I fell in love with you (Guessing that you were truth), For you were masked and strange, And you were Youth. And then when I was sure That love and youth were true, I took the mask away And you were You. But gazing on you still As hungry lovers do, I saw that you were more Than Youth, or You; You had a third Shape, too, Hidden for my suprise - I looked, and saw it masked Within your eyes. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE REVEALER by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON TO FINE LADY WOULD-BE by BEN JONSON SUMMER'S LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT: AUTUMN by THOMAS NASHE OPPORTUNITY by EDWARD ROWLAND SILL QUATRAIN: OMAR KHAYYAM (AFTER FITZGERALD) by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH CHEMISTRY OF A POEM by CAROLYN AUSTIN LETTER TO B.W.
