CONCEPTION

Previous
TO the many you give of your lighter vein
Laughter and gay repartee.
But the deeper side,—that which thinks things out,
You give to me.
With the many you play Life’s make-believe game;
’Tis a bantering light they see
When they look in your eyes, their earnest gaze
You save for me.
The many accept you for what you would seem;
From such blundering am I free:
I know you for your own true self,—the self
You are to me.
