YOU hid the love in your eyes-
How could you think I knew?
It was only a step to his comforting
From the hurt of you.
For even a woman’s eyes
Grow tired of tears-
It was so long a way to look
Down the naked years!
And I had rest from heartbreak
And I had peace from pain. . . .
Why do you have the love in your eyes
Again, again?
(Margaret Widdemer)
