TO A LADY IN A PICTURE by LOUISE CHANDLER MOULTON

Poet Analysis

First Line: SITTING IN THAT PICTURE
Last Line: THAT YOU HAVE NOT TOLD.
Subject(s): PORTRAITS;
SITTING in that picture,
Smiling night and day,
Do you never weary,
Long to weep or pray?

Though your dress is velvet,
And your hair is gold,
I see something in your eyes
That you have not told.
