Now she is winter to him, - ZaunköniG - 09.08.2014 Now she is winter to him, her eyes freeze When he is near, and all her face is hard ; Her ruthless look benumbs him like a breeze After a night of frost, and her regard Disdains his piteous aspect as he goes With aimless feet about the dreary town, That hurts him with its careless open shows Of laughter ; her indifference will not frown, But placidly o'erlooks him, till it seems The welcome he beheld in former smiles Was feline joy that went before her dreams Of cruelty to come, her tender wiles The purring of a tigress, whetting teeth To crush his heart into a final death. |
