Mirror
Who is that ?
Who stares at me
Within the lovely frame.
Mirror do tell!
Who is that?
Most Familiar but odd
A stranger who puzzles me
Mirror do tell!
Who is that?
With doubled chin
And quivering lips
Mirror do tell!
Who is that?
With silver tresses
Hanging Painfully thin
Mirror do tell!
Who is that?
Am I dreaming?
Its not possibly me.
Mirror do tell!
Who is that?
With wrinkled lips
And Sagging cheeks.
Mirror do tell!
Who is that?
Who hurts my eyes
To look upon its face
Mirror do tell!
Who is that?
Those eyes are mine
They do not tell a lie
Mirror it is truly I
