<br/>
<p>The Magic Mirrors</p>
<p>In the dim mirrors of imagination,<br/>
I watch the silent dancing of my soul . . .<br/>
I watch her as she dances with my dreams . . .<br/>
See how she takes innumerable disguises,<br/>
And hides her beauty behind many masks,<br/>
And how, sometimes, she seems to laugh and sing,<br/>
. . . And weep . . . and call upon the unknown Gods . . .<br/>
But not one mirror has betrayed her voice,<br/>
Or shown to me the secret of her face . . .<br/>
O silent dance of sorrow and delight,<br/>
My heart grown tired with watching, turns away,<br/>
To make perhaps a little passionate song<br/>
Out of the shadows of immortal things . . .</p>
