THOUGHTS IN A BEAUTY SHOP, by MAUDE R. MEYER First Line: Quiet and busy hands Last Line: (my thoughts have been worth the price). Subject(s): Beauticians | |||
Quiet and busy hands, Perhaps a word or two, "How do you like your nails?" "Shall we try an oil shampoo?" What do they think all day, These girls who work with care, Dolling a beauty up, Making my lady fair? What is the difference here, Isn't it all the same? Isn't it living the life, Aren't we playing a game? What will it matter at last Whether she worked and I played? Isn't our life all set, Aren't our circles made? "O! am I through so soon?" "Thank you, it's very nice." "O yes, I'll come again." (My thoughts have been worth the price). | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BEAUTICIAN by THOMSON WILLIAM GUNN THE MOURNING-GARMENT: THE SHEPHERD'S WIFE'S SONG by ROBERT GREENE RETRIBUTION by FRIEDRICH VON LOGAU WINDY NIGHTS by ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON THE STOLEN CHILD by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS A SPRING CAROL by ALFRED AUSTIN MIRACLE by LIBERTY HYDE BAILEY CLIO, NINE ECLOGUES IN HONOUR OF NINE VIRTUES: 1.
