A Kiss in a Look

The Look

BY SARA TEASDALE

Strephon kissed me in the spring,

      Robin in the fall,

But Colin only looked at me

      And never kissed at all.

Strephon's kiss was lost in jest,

      Robin's lost in play,

But the kiss in Colin's eyes

      Haunts me night and day.

Glossary:

fall = autumn

jest = joke (gracejo, zombaria)

haunts me - assombra-me
