WHOSE FACE?

Some faces are supremely air,
Some sparkling in their splendoi,
Some are demurr and debonaire,
And some divinely tender.
Some win us with one fatal glance
From eyes too brightly beaming;
Some smile hesmile that brings trance,
Till lie is lost in drenming.
Some fit before us, sweet and gay,
To till our hearts with laughter;
Then fade, as iancies fade away,
And leave no achings after.
And sOme-some faces sorrow kissed.
Where holiest thoughts are thronging-
Come back, come always in the mist
everlasting longing.
So faces come, and faces go;
Some make existence sweater,
And some, they make life sad, we know,
Yet, being sad completer.
Until one face comes up at last
