[Were Women wise, their names on glass]
Were Women wise, their names on glass,
Light froth of empty fashion!
Wou'd, to their lovers sorrow, pass
For proofs of brittle passion.
Light froth of empty fashion!

Burn, tho' a world should shade it;
But shows it source of heat, to none,
Except that God, who made it.
