‘ Amour Qui Sourit Caché
.’
I thought my heart was quite burnt out,
Reduced to merest ashes;
I found a spark to light it up
Beneath those drooping lashes.
A courtship strange: few words of love
Between us two were spoken;
Our hearts met through our meeting lips
And got mixed up and broken.
Scarce had we met—in a gay crowd,
Perhaps ne’er to meet hereafter,
We had to part, with lips that laughed,
And tears beneath the laughter.
W. H. Pollock
