Poems (Duer)/A Vignette

by Alice Duer and Caroline Duer

A VIGNETTE.

Cupid, playing blind-man's buff,
 Seized my Psyche's floating tresses.
"Here is silken clue enough
 To dispense with any guesses.
This is Psyche s golden fleece:
She s my prisoner, past release."
 But the lookers-on declare
 Love was caught in Psyche s hair.

C. D.
