Before the World was Made
| If I make the lashes dark | | And the eyes more bright | | And the lips more scarlet, | | Or ask if all be right | | From
mirror after mirror, | | No vanity’s displayed: | | I’m looking for the face I had | | Before the world was made. | | | | | | What
if I look upon a man | | As though on my beloved, | | And my blood be cold the while | | And my heart unmoved? | | Why should he think me cruel | | Or that he is betrayed? | | I’d have him love the thing that was | | Before the
world was made. |
