ONLY FACE
Only a face in an oval frame,
But ali it carries me back TO days
That were faded almost before they came,
And life was only golden haze.
Only face, but thoughts will arise
A~tbe whirling dance, and the mOOnlit sea,
Of the wondrOus love in her deep dark eyes,
The love that prayed her to give to me.
Only a face. 1t is all that remains
OF that happy ream so sad. yet sweet;
For she married fellow who holds the relns,
And juggles brake on Washington street.
