Rainbows (Custance)/The Girl in the Glass
The Girl in the Glass
Girl in the glass! you smile, and yetYour eyes are full of a vague regret,For dreams are lovely and life is sad,And when you were a child, what dreams you had!Now, over your soul life's shadows pass,Girl in the glass.
Girl in the Glass, an April dayLooks not more tearful, looks not more gayThan your rose-flushed face with the wistful mouth.For your Soul seeks Love, as a swallow flys south,So, into your eyes Love's sorrows passGirl in the Glass.
