The Cold Look.

He look'd so cold when last we met;
He never praised my eyes of jet,
But left me here to fret and fret—
He look'd so cold when last we met.
He may not know the pain I dree;
He ever was so kind to me,
I cannot think him cruel,—yet,
He look'd so cold when last we met.
A posy, on his breast did glow;
Who put it there? I'd like to know—
Did neighbour—she? No, no !—and yet,
He look'd so cold when last we met.
I'll to the witch, and if to-night
He frown within her mirror bright,
I'll die, and then, ah, he'll regret
The look he wore when last we met!
